Dysgerminoma

Dysgerminomas (also known as dysgerminomatoses) are germ cell tumors that develop from embryo sac cells located in the ovaries or other tissues of the body. These tumors can be either benign or malignant.

Dysgerminomas usually develop in children and adolescents, but can also occur in adults. Symptoms of dysgerminomas include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and irregular or absent periods.

Diagnosis of dysgerminoma includes a blood test for tumor markers, abdominal ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen. Treatment for dysgerminoma may include surgical removal of the tumor, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

Although dysgerminoma can be cured, it can recur after surgery or treatment. Therefore, it is important to undergo regular examinations after treatment to ensure that the disease does not recur.

Dysgerminoma is a fairly rare disease that affects the ovaries in women. In some cases, this disease is malignant in nature, in which rapid growth and proliferation of cancer cells occurs.

For the first time such a disease was registered in 1867. Scientists who observed the young girl gave a more accurate name for the disease - dysgerminama. Today, having studied the properties of the neoplasm and the development options of the disease, this disease already has an ICD 10 code - D2
