This is a retrospective Histological analysis of germ cell tumors seen between January 1988 and December
. The analysis showed that teratomas were the commonest germ cell tumour arising from the ovary and sacrococcygeal regions and accounted for 53.7 percent of all the germ cell tumours.
Germ cell tumours though rare, are potentially curable and therefore calls for vigorous search in suspected cases. Raised embryonic antigen are only usefit! in assessing the success a,[ managing these tumours. |
