Polyembryoma in pure form is a rare entity, more often associated with other germ cell tumor components, commonly observed as a part of malignant mixed germ cell tumor with predominant yolk-sac component. We report a case of a 23 year old male having malignant mixed germ cell tumor of testis in which major component was polyembryoma (>65%) and rest were teratomatous and yolk sac component with an elevated level of serum ?-fetoprotein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). He was treated with surgery followed by combination chemotherapy and doing well till now.
