title: [Adjuvant chemotherapy in dysgerminoma].
abstract: This is a report on a young patient with dysgerminoma of the right ovary. Right-side adnexectomy and hysterectomy were performed initially. Due to the clearly elevated tumour marker levels, indicating an involvement of other germ cell elements, we opted for postoperative chemotherapy instead of radiotherapy. The follow-up included regular monitoring of the tumour markers. To date, there has been no indication towards tumour recurrence.
