Germ cell tumor (GCT) is a neoplasm derived from the primordial germ cells.[1] Germ-cell tumors can be cancerous or benign. Germ cells normally occur inside the gonads (ovary[2] and testis). GCTs that originate outside the gonads may be birth defects resulting from errors during development of the embryo.
