Dysgerminoma with pregnancy and viable baby: a case report

Oman Med J. 2011 May;26(3):198-200. doi: 10.5001/omj.2011.48.

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.

Keywords: Dysgerminoma; Natural pregnancy; Viable birth.
