恶性性腺外生殖细胞肿瘤，虽然在婴儿和儿童中更常见，但很少见。它们发生在身体的中线，可能有内部和外部表现。我们报告一个11个月大的女性，罹患骶骨尾骨性腺外卵黄囊肿瘤，在最初治疗为脓疡后，表现为引流的皮下结节。性腺外生殖细胞肿瘤的外部表现与其他良性软组织疾病相似，容易混淆。
Malignant extragonadal germ cell tumors, though more common in infants and children, are rare. They occur in the body's midline and may have internal and external manifestations. We report a case of an 11-month-old female with sacrococcygeal extragonadal yolk sac tumor manifesting as a draining subcutaneous nodule after initial treatment as an abscess. Extragonadal germ cell tumors can present with external manifestations confusingly similar to other more benign soft tissue conditions.
