- W4282964751 abstract "Introduction: Ovarian germ cell tumors most commonly affect young women in the second and third decades of life. Dysgerminomas account for 30–50% of malignant ovarian germ cell tumors and are classically associated with elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Elevated human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the setting of an adnexal mass in this age group may raise concern for ectopic pregnancy. It is critical to maintain a high index of suspicion for possible germ cell tumor in young women with adnexal masses to avoid unnecessary surgical spillage that might upstage a malignancy. We present a case of a 14-year-old female with adnexal mass and elevated hCG who was ultimately diagnosed with ovarian dysgerminoma. Case Report: A 14-year-old female presented to the emergency room with vaginal bleeding and altered mental status and was found to have a markedly elevated beta-hCG, normal LDH, and an 8 cm complex adnexal mass. She underwent minimally invasive surgery and was ultimately diagnosed with stage 1A dysgerminoma with abundant synctiotrophoblast giant cells. Patient remained in remission for four years until she began experiencing new irregular periods. This time she was found to have an elevated LDH, normal B-hCG, and a 10 cm pelvic mass. She underwent exploratory laparotomy, removal of pelvic mass, right salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic lymph node debulking, and adjuvant chemotherapy with bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP). Conclusion: Dysgerminoma, the most common malignant ovarian germ cell tumor, may present with the uncommon profile of markedly elevated hCG and otherwise normal tumor markers. While ectopic pregnancy must be considered in this scenario, keeping dysgerminoma in the differential diagnosis of a young woman with a solid adnexal mass and elevated hCG may allow for intact removal of the mass, possibly helping to avoid adjuvant chemotherapy." @default.
