Abstract:
Malignant nonepithelial ovarian tumours represent less than 20% of ovarian cancers in adults. Apart from haematological tumours, there are mainly germ cell tumours and sex cordstromal ovarian tumours. These tumours affect young women and are diagnosed in early stages associated with a good prognosis. The management of malignant nonepithelial ovarian tumours is difficult because they are rare and because we have to propose an appropriate oncological treatment, preserving fertility for these women of child-bearing age. We propose an update on recent data in the literature, focusing on management.
