Introduction
Yolk‐sac tumor (YST) is a germ cell tumor subtype that occurs in
newborns and infants, as well as young adults aged 14–44 years. It is
rarely found primarily in the extragonadal sites with no involvement of
the gonads1. We describe a case of primary
maxillofacial YST refractory to radiotherapy of the head and neck and
various cycles of systemic chemotherapy in a patient with restricted
mouth opening. Currently, no cases of induction of anesthesia in
children with YST have been reported. This report could help bolster the
knowledge of anesthesiologists dealing with these uncommon tumors.
