	The symptoms of an endodermal sinus tumor can vary depending on the location of the tumor. Common symptoms include abdominal or pelvic pain, a palpable mass, and unexplained weight loss. In males, the tumor may cause testicular swelling or discomfort.		The symptoms of an endodermal sinus tumor can vary depending on the location of the tumor.
