Mixed germ cell tumor of the ovary with pure choriocarcinoma metastasis
Obstetrics and Gynecology
|September 1, 1986
Abstract:
A case report of a 30-month disease-free survival in a ten-year-old girl with ovarian mixed germ cell tumor consisting of dysgerminoma, choriocarcinoma, and immature teratoma with pure choriocarcinoma paraaortic lymph node metastasis is presented. To prevent resistant cell colonies, the noncross-resistant combination of vinblastine-Adriamycin and vinblastine-actinomycin D-cytoxan were added to the initial four courses of vinblastine-cisplatin-bleomycin. There are no previously reported survivals in ovarian mixed germ cell tumors with pure choriocarcinoma metastasis.

02:07Oogenesis
In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...
02:30Metastasis
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
