    Abstract

    A 16-year-old phenotypic female developed acute myeloblastic leukemia with a fulminant course very shortly after surgery and chemotherapy for a mixed germ cell tumor of the ovary. The karyotype (46, XY, 47, XY + 8) suggested de novo rather than therapy-associated leukemia. The relationship between germ cell tumors and leukemia, their common yolk sac derivation and the role of the Y chromosome are discussed. The idea that XY gonadal dysgenesis may be familial also is discussed.
