Abstract
|
|
|
The endodermal sinus tumor (EST) is the second most frequent malignant germ cell tumor of the ovary, primarily affecting children and young adults.
Earlier reprots described that EST had the extremely poor prognosis and almost uniformal fatal outcome, but recently with adequate surgery, combination chemotherapy using cisplatin, vinblastine, bleomycin, actinomycin D, cyclophosphamide and
meticulous
monitoring with serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) titers determined by radioimmunoassay(RIA), its survival rates is markedly improve.
The authors experienced a case of huge endodermal sinus tumor of the ovary in 25-year old nulligravida complaining abdominal pain and abdominal distension that had begun one month earlier.
The authors report this case with a brief review of the literatures.
