Abstract
Malignant germ cell tumors account for only 3%of ovarian cancers. Nonetheless, they are the most common ovarian malignancies in young females, with an average age of presentation of 20 years old. Fortunately, the majority of patients are curable. Current treatment recommendations stress conservative surgery to retain fertility, and selective adjuvant chemotherapy.
