摘要
Introduction: Malignant germ cell tumors (MGCTs), as a subtype of rare non-epithelial ovarian cancers (NOEC), are most commonly found in pregnancy. Of all MGCTs, 38% are dysgerminoma. Considering the rarity of these entities, the aim of this paper is to show a rare case of ovarian dysgerminoma presented in pregnancy and its influence on course and outcome of the pregnancy. Patient Review: Patient aged 26, gravida 2, para 1, with one vaginal delivery five years before, was admitted to the Clinic for Gynecology and obstetrics in term pregnancy because of uterine contractions accompanied by left thigh pain and tingling sensation in the left leg. Solid hypoechogenic mass with regular borders, 125x90 mm in diameter adjacent to the left side of the uterus was seen by ultrasound, without free fluid in pelvic cavity. Since regular uterine contractions started, the decision was made to terminate pregnancy by Caesarean section (CS) because of tumor previa. Histopathological examination confirmed ovarian dysgerminoma, but after staging operation which was performed two months after CS, following imaging diagnostics, ovarian dysgerminoma was confirmed with FIGO stage IA, meaning that patient's specific oncological treatment was finished. Conclusion: Diagnosis of ovarian dysgerminoma is in general challenging since up to 50% are asymptomatic or symptoms are non-specific. The management of ovarian cancer in pregnancy should be multidisciplinary and individualized in the best interest of the mother and the fetus. The overall five-year survival rate for ovarian dysgerminoma is favorable in more than 90% of cases. Women diagnosed with dysgerminoma in pregnancy are young and in general have good feto-maternal outcome.
