description BACKGROUND: A pure ovarian dysgerminoma in a postmenopausal female is a rare phenomenon. CASE: A 65-year-old female presented with a large pelvic mass. Following surgical debulking, the patient was diagnosed with FIGO Stage IIB ovarian dysgerminoma. She was treated with three cycles of etoposide and cisplatin and has been disease-free for 12 months. CONCLUSION: Dysgerminomas in postmenopausal females are uncommon. Gynecologic oncologists should be familiar with the pathological diagnosis and treatment recommendations to achieve optimal outcomes.
