SOCORRO CASTRO, Caridad; CHAVEZ VALDIVIA, Martha  y  MARTINEZ NAVARRO, Javier. Pure Ovarian Dysgerminoma in a Teenager: Case Report and Literature Review. Rev. Finlay [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.4, pp.321-326. ISSN 2221-2434.

Ovary tumor of malignant nature is infrequent in pediatric ages. Dyrgeminomas are not common and constitute around 2 % of all ovary cancers; however, they represent approximately half of the malignant tumors of germinal cells. A case of a 14-year-old patient is presented, with antecedents of skeletal generalized dysplasia, who presented to the doctor complaining of abdominal pain and a palpable mass in the hypogastrium. Imaging exams reported a well-encapsulated tumor with a solid aspect. It was associated to the elevation of seric tumor markers reason for which it was removed and the anatomic-pathologic study concluded the case as a pure right ovary dysgerminoma limited to the organ. It is relatively infrequent in a pediatric age patient carrier of a skeletal dysplasia so it is decided to be published.

Palabras clave : dysgerminoma; ovarian neoplasms; adolescent; case reports.
