Ovarian pure dysgerminoma has high cure rates with surgery and radiotherapy. This case highlights a rare late recurrence 33 years post-treatment, emphasizing the need for long-term patient follow-up.

Area of Science:

Gynecologic Oncology
Reproductive Endocrinology

Background:

Localized pure dysgerminoma of the ovary typically shows high cure rates with standard treatment.
Recurrence of ovarian dysgerminoma usually occurs within two years of initial management.

Observation:

A 58-year-old woman, para 1, presented with recurrent pure dysgerminoma.
The recurrence was diagnosed 33 years after her initial surgery for the same condition.

Findings:

This case represents an exceptionally late recurrence of ovarian pure dysgerminoma.
The typical 2-year recurrence window was significantly exceeded.

Implications:

Long-term surveillance is crucial for patients treated for ovarian pure dysgerminoma.
