BILATERAL DYSGERMINOMA WITH PREGNANCY AND VIABLE BABY: A CASE REPORT.
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 9
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 bilateral dysgerminoma, without any assisted reproductive interventions. We hereby report a case of successful spontaneous natural pregnancy, associated with bilateral dysgerminoma, with no feto-maternal compromise.
