    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Dysgerminoma during pregnancy presents risks like torsion and obstetrical complications. Conservative treatment for early-stage ovarian dysgerminoma has a high recurrence rate, especially after unilateral oophorectomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Reproductive Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Dysgerminoma is a rare germ cell tumor of the ovary.
    • Pregnancy can complicate the diagnosis and management of ovarian tumors.

    Observation:

    • This review includes 27 cases of ovarian dysgerminoma associated with pregnancy.
    • Common complications include tumor torsion, incarceration, obstetrical issues, and fetal demise.
    • Typical patient profile: under 25, nulliparous, with a unilateral ovarian tumor.

    Findings:

    • Conservative treatment (unilateral oophorectomy) for stage IA dysgerminoma during pregnancy resulted in a 30% recurrence rate.
    • Recurrences were observed even when the contralateral ovary appeared grossly normal, indicating potential microscopic infiltration.

    Implications:

    • The management of stage IA ovarian dysgerminoma in pregnancy is complex.
    • Unilateral oophorectomy should be reserved for patients prioritizing fertility preservation, given the significant recurrence risk.
