Extradural Spinal Metastasis in Ovarian Mixed Germ Cell Tumor

Ovarian germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare and affect mainly young girls and women. Two histological groups are distinguished: dysgerminomas and nondysgerminomatous tumors. These tumors have initial good responses to surgery and chemotherapy in 80% cases, but >75% of patients die due to complicatio...

description Ovarian germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare and affect mainly young girls and women. Two histological groups are distinguished: dysgerminomas and nondysgerminomatous tumors. These tumors have initial good responses to surgery and chemotherapy in 80% cases, but >75% of patients die due to complications of disease progression. There are very few case reports of mixed GCT with extradural spine metastases. We report a rare case of a 17-year-old girl who had undergone left salpingo-oophorectomy with omental and peritoneal biopsy for ovarian GCT with extradural spinal metastasis.
