Ataxia-telangiectasia is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, oculocutaneous telangiectasia, immunodeficiency, high incidence of cancer, and increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation. The authors report a case of dysgerminoma in a child with high alpha-fetoprotein, CA125 and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin, who has been followed-up for ataxia-telangiectasia for 2 years.

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.

Study Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of germ cell tumors and the clinical monitoring practices for those who deferred prophylactic gonadectomy in a large North American cohort of individuals with Turner syndrome with Y-chromosome mosaicism (TS+Y).
Method: A query of the medical records at multiple North American children's hospitals was done using ICD codes related to Turner Syndrome. A retrospective chart review was conducted on those patients between ages 0 to 30 years with Y-mosaicism.

Article Synopsis
- - Ovarian cancer in children and adolescents is uncommon and requires a specialized approach, involving a team of healthcare providers to address its unique diagnostic and treatment challenges.
- - Diagnosis often involves imaging tests and tumor markers, while surgical treatments should prioritize fertility preservation whenever possible, along with tailored chemotherapy based on the type of cancer and its stage.
- - Early detection leads to high survival rates of over 90%, but ongoing follow-up is essential to monitor for recurrence and manage any long-term side effects from treatment.

Article Synopsis
- - Dysgerminoma is a rare type of germ cell tumor found mostly in young females, often causing abdominal pain and swelling, with surgery being the primary treatment method, followed by chemotherapy for advanced stages.
- - The presence of specific genetic factors, like the SRY gene and dysgenic gonads, can increase the risk of unusual presentations of dysgerminoma, although clear links to other genetic mutations remain uncertain.
- - The article examines a unique case of dysgerminoma in a young patient with genetic anomalies, while also covering the tumor's epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment options, and possible genetic mutations linked to dysgerminoma.
