AI Article Synopsis
- Dysgerminoma is a rare and malignant tumor of the ovary, primarily affecting women of reproductive age.
- Differentiating dysgerminoma from benign ovarian conditions before surgery can be difficult, especially in its early stages.
- The article highlights imaging challenges, discusses laparoscopic treatment options, and emphasizes the possibility of fertility-sparing surgery for young women diagnosed with dysgerminoma.
Article Abstract
Dysgerminoma is a rare malignant germ cell tumor of the ovary that often affects women in reproductive age. The presurgical differentiation of dysgerminoma from benign conditions is challenging. In early stages, malignant dysgerminoma can be treated with fertility sparing surgery. We present a pictorial non-systematic review of literature, discuss diagnostic challenges in ultrasound and radiological imaging and present laparoscopic treatment options in a young woman with dysgerminoma.

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.
