Ovarian Germ Cell Tumor


Overview and Facts

Ovarian germ cell tumors are a rare, malignant (cancerous) disease that develops in the egg-producing cells in the ovaries. These tumors usually only develop in one ovary and teenage or young adult women are at a higher risk. The most common type of ovarian germ cell tumor is called a dysgerminoma.
