Abstract

Polyembryoma emerges as an extremely exceptional, mixed germ cell tumour demonstrating a predominant component of ‘embryoid bodies’ and simulates biological behaviour of mixed germ cell tumour. Aforesaid embryoid bodies are configured of centric core of embryonal carcinoma cells, amnion-like cavity and yolk sac tumour component. In addition to embryoid bodies, designation of ‘polyembryoma’ necessitates a quantifiable proportion of <10% of an additional neoplastic component articulating the polyembryoma.
