[Ovarian seminoma and pregnancy. Apropos of a new case].
The case of a 35-year-old primigravida with a 21-week intrauterine gestation and concurrent dysgerminoma of the ovary (stage Ic) is presented. A total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed, followed by postoperative chemotherapy using cisplatin, bleomycin and vinblastine. The patient has done well since treatment, and is without evidence of recurrent disease 19 months later. Both radiation and chemotherapy are highly effective treatment modalities for dysgerminoma. For those patients with disease presenting in stages Ib, Ic, II and III who wish to maintain fertility, unilateral oophorectomy followed by combination chemotherapy may be curative and spare ovarian function.
