Abstract

Ovarian dysgerminomas although rare are the most common malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary and comprise 2% of all ovarian malignancies. These tumors are most commonly seen in young girls and young women. Once diagnosed accurately, chemotherapy following post-op has excellent prognosis. We present a rare case of bilateral ovarian dysgerminoma in a 25 year old female patient with metastases and elevated CA-125 levels, with transvaginal ultrasound and CT correlation.
