    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Ovarian dysgerminoma is a rare malignant germ cell tumor of the ovary.
    • It primarily affects young women and adolescents.
    • Understanding its clinical presentation, pathology, and treatment is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on the clinical, pathological, and therapeutic aspects of five ovarian dysgerminoma cases.
    • To analyze treatment outcomes and long-term survival in young patients.
    • To document a potentially novel histologic variant of ovarian dysgerminoma.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis of five patients diagnosed with ovarian dysgerminoma.
    • Review of clinical data, pathological findings, and treatment modalities.
    • Staging according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) system.

    Main Results:

    • Five patients aged 15–30 years with ovarian dysgerminoma were analyzed.
    • Three cases were Stage Iai, and two were Stage III.
    • Surgical treatment was administered in four cases; one case received adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy, with all patients achieving disease-free survival for 4–11 years.
    • One case exhibited a unique histologic pattern resembling testicular spermatocytic seminoma, potentially a novel finding in ovarian dysgerminoma.

    Conclusions:

    • Ovarian dysgerminoma in young patients can be effectively treated with surgery, often leading to excellent long-term survival.
    • Adjuvant therapies may be considered in advanced stages.
    • The identification of a possible spermatocytic seminoma-like pattern warrants further investigation into germ cell tumor histopathology.
