Introduction. Ovarian dysgerminoma is a rare malignant ovarian germ cell tumor with its peak incidence in young women. Abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and the presence of a palpable mass are common symptoms at presentation. Depending on the FIGO stage at presentation the prognosis of
A mare was referred for further evaluation of a mass found in the left caudal abdomen during a routine postpartum reproductive palpation. The mare was clinically normal with no history of health problems. Ultrasonographic examination of the mass confirmed its presence, but the origin of the mass
Dysgerminomas are malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary that most commonly occur in the adolescent population. Ovarian dysgerminoma presenting with complications like torsion is a rare entity in the pediatric age group. Cross-sectional imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis, tumor staging
OBJECTIVE
Ovarian dysgerminoma is an uncommen ovarian malignancy. Its clinical features are special and there are many factors influencing the prognosis. If treated properly, the patient can be cured. Otherwise it may endanger the patient's life. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical
The case of a 24-year-old woman with fever, abdominal pain and weight loss, is presented. Right ovarian dysgerminoma was diagnosed; group A blood, negative direct Coombs. The search for free serum antibodies was positive, with specificity: auto anti 1, anti P with activity at 37 degrees C.
Ovarian germ cell tumors are malignant tumors which commonly develop during childhood, and which are sensitive to chemotherapy. We have had a case of germ cell tumors which showed resistance to first-line PEP(BEP)chemotherapy. As second-line chemotherapy, VeIP therapy was used, because it is
Gonadoblastoma is a rare ovarian neoplasm which belongs to "germ cell-sex cord-stromal tumor" category. This tumor is frequently associated with invasive germ cell malignancy. It commonly arises in dysgenetic gonads of young individuals who are phenotypically females but possess 46XY karyotype. It
OBJECTIVE
Ovarian cancer presents as an acute abdomen very rarely. The purpose of the study is the description of a right ovarian malignant dysgerminoma presenting as an abdominal emergency.
METHODS
A 16-year-old white female presented with acute abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa. On physical
A 14 1/2-year old girl with menometrorrhagia followed by amenorrhea and abdominal pain had a pelvic resistance with limited mobility. Histology of a left ovarian tumour showed gonadoblastoma turning to dysgerminoma and associated with choriocarcinoma (M-9073/1, M-9060/3, M-90101/3). Genuine ovarian
BACKGROUND
Ovarian cancer is the second most frequent gynaecological cancer in Nigeria ranking next after carcinoma of the cervix. It has the highest case-fatality rate worldwide because of insidious onset, lack of effective screening methods and late presentation. This case of a sixteen-year old
BACKGROUND
Ovarian dysgerminoma cases are very rarely presented together with acute abdomen. The purpose of this study is to present dysgerminoma ovarii with abdominal pain in lower right abdominal part after abdominal trauma as an abdominal emergency.
METHODS
Our 12-year old female patient was
A 46 XY pure gonadal dysgenesis also known as Swyer syndrome. These patients are phenotypic females with normal female external genitalia and absent testicular tissue. The patients with swyer syndrome have streak gonads and increased risk of dysgerminoma and gonadoblastoma. We present a case of
BACKGROUND
Paraneoplastic syndromes are disorders caused by cancer that are not a direct result of the cancer mass itself or metastases to the affected organ. Paraneoplastic cholestasis is described with lymphoma and renal cell carcinoma. Unlike ovarian carcinoma, paraneoplastic syndromes are rarely
A 7-year-old female child was presented to the emergency room with acute abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Her assessment revealed a firm large lower abdominal mass with evidence of precocious puberty with bilaterally symmetrically enlarged breast (Tanner stage B4-P1-A1). Abdominal imaging showed
Dysgerminoma accounts for only 1-3% of ovarian cancers and about 30-40% of all ovarian germ cell malignant tumors. Literature states that about 2% of nonpregnant patients with dysgerminomas present with elevated serum or urine levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Here, we report a 34
