Dysgerminoma with Pregnancy and Viable Baby: A Case Report

Abstract

Dysgerminomas are the most common of primitive germ cell tumors of the ovary, accounting for 1-5% of all ovarian malignancies. The reproductive age group females are most commonly affected, thereby causing problems in conception and if pregnancy occurs, it leads to feto-maternal compromise. It is extremely rare to have a successful natural pregnancy, with viable child birth with a coexisting dysgerminoma, without any assisted reproductive interventions. We hereby report a case of successful spontaneous natural pregnancy in a primi gravida, associated with dysgerminoma, with no feto-maternal compromise.

Uncommon Metastasis of Ovarian Dysgerminoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…The patient had a minimal bilateral pleural reaction of 9 mm on thoracic CT. Occasionally, dysgerminoma may be diagnosed during pregnancy (20%), with some tumors being fortuitously discovered during cesarean section [14,15].…”

Ovarian Dysgerminoma / Disgerminom Jajnika

“…Dysgerminoma cells originate from the primordial sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonads. This disease may be associated with pregnancy in 17% of cases; if that is the case, the tumour can be removed, and the pregnancy can be preserved [6,7]. In approximately 2% of non-pregnant women, a pregnancy test can be positive due to the creation of hCG in the isolated syncytiotrophoblast cells.…”

“…(17) Among epithelial tumours, serous cystadenomas were common followed by mucinous cystadenomas. (18) These epithelial tumours were of low malignant potential. Benign cystic teratoma was the most common benign germ cell tumour associated with pregnancy.…”
