title: Endodermal sinus tumour of the ovary: serum alpha-fetoprotein levels before and after treatment and during pregnancy. Case report.
abstract: We report the apparently successful treatment of an endodermal sinus tumour. The patient became pregnant after unilateral oophorectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy, and was delivered of a normal female infant. The levels of serum alpha-fetoprotein, having been raised before treatment of the tumour, were within the normal range during pregnancy and undectactable before and afterwards.
