Abstract
We report a rare case of double primary germ cell tumor: right ovarian yolk sac tumor and left ovarian dysgerminoma. A 45 year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to irregular bleeding for 2 days and extended menstrual period. Right ovarian mass was discovered on transvaginal ultrasound. The pathology results revealed that right ovarian yolk sac tumor and left ovarian dysgerminoma. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with debulking with pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed. The patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy with BEP six courses in four months and AFP dropped from 8490 ng/ml to nearly 10 ng/ml. Conclusion: Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy followed by combination chemotherapy must be the treatment of first choice of germ cell tumor. IJCEP
