Abstract EN
Introduction.
Ovarian dysgerminoma is a rare malignant ovarian germ cell tumor with its peak incidence in young women.
Abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and the presence of a palpable mass are common symptoms at presentation.
Depending on the FIGO stage at presentation the prognosis of dysgerminomas after surgical treatment, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiotherapy is promising.
Case Presentation.
A 7-year-old girl was presented at our clinic with abdominal pain in all abdominal quadrants.
Later the pain localized in the region of her right ovary.
CT scan revealed a massive formation which was connected to her right ovary.
Conclusion.
Although malignant ovarian germ cell tumours are rare in children, physicians must always consider the possibility of MOGT-occurrences.
The clinical symptoms might not be specific: abdominal pain, abdominal distention, nausea, and vomiting.
In order to make a correct diagnosis the patients should undergo a complete clinical examination including radiological scans.
Initial management is frequently surgery, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Although disgerminoma is malignant tumor, the prognosis is promising.
