Dysgerminomas are malignant ovarian germ-cell tumors. Malignant germ-cell tumors of the ovary occur in young women, 75% being diagnosed in the second and third decades of life.
At macroscopic evaluation, ovarian dysgerminomas are characteristically solid and well-encapsulated with an average diameter of 15 cm. At 3D power Doppler ultrasound evaluations these tumors revealed densely packed vessels, irregular branching, caliber changes and tortuosity of tumor vessels.
The open chapter contains images, epidemiology, ultrasound characteristics, prognosis and more.
