Malignant Germ Cell Tumors of the Ovary

Ovarian malignant germ cell tumors are a diverse set of masses originating from the primitive gonadal germ cells, often in young females. They have useful imaging and clinical features, including serum tumor marker elevation, that may aid the radiologist at the time of diagnosis, and also during follow-up. Accurate and timely diagnosis is essential, as standard-of-care therapies lead to a high rate of cancer remission.
