Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Ovarian germ cell tumours comprise approximately 15% to 20% of all ovarian neoplasms. They are rapidly growing neoplasms that arise from primordial germ cells derived from the embryonal gonad. Malignant germ cell tumours comprise less than 5% of all ovarian neoplasms. Dysgerminomas are the most common type of malignant primitive germ cell tumours, accounting for 5-10% of ovarian cancers in patients in the first two decades.
