abstract

  • Vaginal yolk sac tumors are rare pediatric malignant tumors and the most common form of vaginal germ-cell tumors in children. They are almost exclusively found in females under 3 years of age. Treatment involves local excision either with or without chemotherapy. Herein, we describe a case of a 3-year-old girl with vaginal Yolk sac tumor, who underwent buccal mucosa vaginoplasty through an anterior sagittal transrectal approach , as an effective oncological procedure, with preservation of reproductive function.
