Abstract :

Introduction: Malignant germinal tumors of the ovary (MGTO) are a rare entity, accounting for 1–5% of all ovarian tumors and 58% of all ovarian tumors in girls and adolescents. Their diagnosis is generally easy and the treatment of TGMO has been modified by the introduction of cisplatin–based chemotherapy, which has given excellent results in terms of survival while allowing a conservative surgical approach to fertility. Patients and methods: We report in this work a retrospective review of the management of this pathology at the National Institute of Oncology, including patients treated for an ovarian germ cell tumor during the last seven years. The epidemiological, pathological, clinical and therapeutic aspects have been noted. Conclusion: For germinal tumors of the ovary, the diagnostic modalities and therapeutic indications are dependent on the histological type and stage of extension of the disease. They are tumors which, most often, are of very good prognosis, provided they are treated by a suitable protocol and without loss of time.
