Gonadoblastoma was first discovered by Dr. Robert E. Scully, an American pathologist, in 1953 following studying the pathology of a series of tumors suspected of being dysgerminomas. This tumor is called gonadoblastoma since it looks like embryonic tissue, but in an indifferent way regarding sexual development.<ref name="Scully1953">{{cite journal|last1=Scully|first1=Robert E.|title=Gonadoblastoma.
