ABSTRACT

Malignant ovarian germ cell tumor (MOGCT) is a kind of primordial germ cell tumors deriving from embryonic gonads. It mainly occurs in adolescent women and is characterized with the rapid growth and high degree of malignancy. The traditional treatment methods include whole uterus and bilateral accessory resection or tumor cytoreductive surgery, although the patients have recovered after surgery, they lose their reproductive function.
