Περίληψη:
Yolk Sac Tumours (YSTs) of the ovary, also called Endodermal Sinus
Tumours (ESTs), are the second most common Malignant Ovarian Germ Cell
Tumours (MOGCTs), after dysgerminomas. YSTs occur primarily in children
and young women. We present a case report of a 20-year-old woman who had
been diagnosed with YST (tumour diameter of 29 cm). The patient
underwent fertility sparing surgery and was subsequently treated with
adjuvant chemotherapy (four cycles of bleomycin, etoposide and
cisplatin). Two years after the diagnosis of YST, she successfully gave
birth to a healthy girl (birth weight 3,500 g, Apgar score of 9-10 and a
spontaneous vaginal delivery). During pregnancy, she had microscopic
hematuria and bilateral nephrolithiasis, was ultrasonographically
diagnosed. The conception after fertility sparing treatment of YST is
possible and the birth of a healthy child is feasible. There are no
current guidelines for surveillance of such patients during pregnancy;
however, structured pregnancy surveillance in such survivors seems
necessary.
