Abstract
We report a case of mixed germ cell tumour, which presented with acute kidney injury in an unmarried 22-year-old Asian girl. The case demonstrated that an aggressive approach with multidisciplinary teamwork ascertained outstanding clinical outcome. The patient was successfully managed fertility-sparing surgery and three cycles of Bleomycin, Etoposide and Cisplatin (BEP) therapy. The patient's pathophysiology returned to normal within weeks and she was declared tumour-free. Furthermore, three-year follow up scans and biomarkers were evident for tumour negativity.
