To our knowledge, recurrent dysgerminoma at the site of tumor removal by laparoscopy in a patient with stage IA disease has not been previously reported. A woman with ovarian dysgerminoma treated by laparoscopy and tumor removed through the cul-de-sac recurred the 17 months later at the site of tumor removal. She was successfully treated with etoposide, bleomycin, and cisplatin chemotherapy with complete response. This case illustrates the potential for surgical site implant of an ovarian dysgerminoma; surgeons should follow strict guidelines when performing laparoscopic procedures for ovarian malignancies in order to prevent this type of incident.

The aim of this retrospective multicentric case series is to describe the CT findings of ovarian neoplasia in dogs. Twenty dogs with pre- and postcontrast CT exams and cytological/histological diagnosis of ovarian neoplasia were included. Five dogs presented with bilateral tumors, for a total of 25 neoplasms: 15 carcinomas (4 bilateral), 4 granulosa cell tumors, 2 poorly differentiated malignant neoplasia (bilateral), 2 luteomas, 1 teratoma, 1 dysgerminoma.

To investigate the relationship between the expression patterns of SOX2 and FOXG1 and the differentiation/development level of neural components in immature teratoma and to determine the clinical significance and potential application of this correlation in a clinical setting. We conducted a comprehensive whole transcriptome sequencing analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across various subtypes of ovarian germ cell tumors. Additionally, immunohistochemical staining of paraffin-embedded tissue sections was employed to assess the nuclear staining pattern of SOX2 and FOXG1 proteins within the tumor tissues.

Background: Malignant dysgerminomas are infrequently reported ovarian neoplasms in animals, especially in exotic pets (non-traditional companion animals [NTCAs]). In the few published case reports on reptilian species, examples are primarily postmortem without antemortem (clinical) assessment.
Patient Presentation: An adult, 13-year-old, spayed female inland bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) presented with lethargy, a right-sided head tilt, unilateral exophthalmos and ventrotemporal strabismus on the right eye.

Objective: To determine the usefulness of pelvic lymphadenectomy in the staging of ovarian dysgerminoma.
Method: Patients with a histopathological diagnosis of ovarian dysgerminoma who were staged between January 1995 and December 2013 were retrospectively studied.
Results: We found 39 cases, the mean age was 23.
