Abstract
We report an extremely rare case of extragonadal retroperitoneal yolk sac tumour in an 8 month old male baby presented with gradual abdominal distension and failure to thrive since 5 months. Ultrasound revealed a well defined isoechoic mass in left side, compressing lower pole of left kidney causing mild hydronephrosis. Surgical intervention revealed a tumor mass extending from left hypochondrium to left iliac fossa & pelvic cavity. Histopathological examination showed extragonadal yolk sac tumour. mmunohistochemical stain for alpha-fetoprotein and cytokeratin AE1/3 were positive in the tumour cells
