چکیده
The primary location of non-metastatic germ cell tumours of the chest is the anterior mediastinal compartment. Germ cell tumour arising from lung parenchyma is one of the rarest conditions in human and only a few cases of choriocarcinomas and yolk sac tumour have been reported to date.

Diagnosis of the lesion was achieved by open thoracotomy and bulk of the tumour was resected by right upper lobectomy. q 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
