Summary

Recurrent ovarian dysgerminoma after laparoscopic surgery can occur at the tumor removal site. This case highlights the need for strict surgical guidelines to prevent tumor seeding during ovarian cancer procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Ovarian dysgerminoma is a rare germ cell tumor.
  • Laparoscopic surgery is increasingly used for ovarian malignancies.
  • Complete tumor removal is crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • A patient with stage IA ovarian dysgerminoma underwent laparoscopic tumor removal.
  • The tumor was removed through the cul-de-sac.
  • Recurrence was observed 17 months later at the primary tumor removal site.

Findings:

  • This represents a rare instance of recurrent dysgerminoma at the laparoscopic surgical site.
  • The patient achieved complete response after treatment with etoposide, bleomycin, and cisplatin chemotherapy.

  • The recurrence suggests the potential for surgical site implantation of ovarian dysgerminoma.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the risk of tumor seeding during laparoscopic procedures for ovarian cancer.
    • Adherence to strict surgical protocols is essential to minimize recurrence risk.
    • Further research into preventing port-site metastasis in ovarian malignancies is warranted.
