Ovarian hemangioma is an uncommon ovarian tumor occurring in patients in different age groups. It is usually seen as small, asymptomatic mass, which is detected incidentally. On rare occasions, this type of tumor can be associated with other gynecological neoplasms. In this report, we present the clinicopathologic features of a case of ovarian hemangioma coexisting with multiple microscopic foc...

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 dy...

Dysgerminoma is a rare highly malignant, though insiduous in growth, ovarian neoplasm. During the past three years (1970-72) there were 63 malig nant ovarian tumours registered in the Sudan Central Tumour Registry. There were only two cases of dysgerminoma which are presented below. They were both in children, (thirteen and seven years) and were both reported from Khartoum Hospital. During the ...

A 30 years old grandmultiparous woman presented with 6 month history of severe abdominal pain and 4 month history of progressive abdominal swelling associated with multiple swellings on her abdomen and her breasts. She had laparotomy two years earlier for a suspected fibroid. A repeat laparatomy discovered a huge left ovarian tumour; which are multilobulated and hard. She had Total Abdominal Hy...

Most patients with gonadoblastoma have dysgenetic gonads. This rare tumour has been described in three pregnant women. A fourth case in a 26 year old pregnant woman who presented with gonadoblastoma and dysgerminoma, is reported. She had a normal term pregnancy, 46XX chromosomes, normal genitalia, no history of menstrual irregularities and no signs of hyperandrogenism, thereby differing from th...

Malignancy-associated hypercalcemia is a common finding among adult malignancies. However, the incidence of malignancy-induced hypercalcemia associated with germ cell tumor among pediatric patients is very rare. We describe a 9-year-old girl with an ovarian dysgerminoma presenting with chronic constipation and hypercalcemia. We review some of the causes of malignancy-associated hypercalcemia de...

BACKGROUND Dysgerminoma is the most common malignant germ cell tumor of the ovary. This malignancy can be associated with pure gonadal dysgenesis or Swyer syndrome, mixed gonadal dysgenesis and partial gonadal dysgenesis. CASE PRESENTATION Dysgerminoma developed in 3 phenotypic female patients with 46 XY pure gonadal dysgenesis. All patients presented first with abdominopelvic mass. Laparatom...
