==Overview==
==Overview==
Endodermal sinus tumor was first discovered by Dr. Gunner Telium, a Danish pathologist, in 1959. The hypermethylation of the RUNX3 [[gene]] promoter and [[overexpression]] of GATA-4, a [[transcription factor]] has been associated with the [[development]] of endodermal sinus tumor. Endodermal sinus tumor is a rare type of [[malignant]] [[ovarian tumor]] that occurs in the second decade of life. On [[gross]] [[pathology]], solid gray-white with a gelatinous, myxoid, or mucoid appearance, [[necrosis]], [[cystic]] changes, and [[hemorrhage]] are characteristic findings of endodermal sinus tumor. On microscopic [[histopathological]] analysis, Schiller-Duval bodies is a characteristic finding of endodermal sinus tumor. Endodermal sinus tumor must be differentiated from other [[diseases]] that cause [[ovarian mass]], such as [[Stein-Leventhal syndrome]]. Ovarian malignant germ cell tumors: cellular classification and clinical and imaging features. CT and MR imaging of ovarian tumors with emphasis on differential diagnosis. [[ovary]] teratoma, tubal [[pregnancy]], ovary adenocarcinoma, and tubo-ovarian [[abscess]]. Endodermal sinus tumor have a bimodal distribution more commonly observed among young and adult population. The [[symptoms]] of endodermal sinus tumor include the following:[[abdominal distention]], acute/sub acute [[abdominal pain]]. The mainstay of therapy for endodermal sinus tumor is [[chemotherapy]].

On [[microscopic]] [[histopathological]] analysis, Schiller-Duval bodies is a characteristic finding of endodermal sinus tumor. Endodermal sinus tumor must be differentiated from other [[diseases]] that cause [[Pelvic|pelvic mass]], such as [[Stein-Leventhal syndrome]], and [[seminoma]]. In 2015, the [[incidence]] of endodermal sinus tumor is estimated to less than 1/100,000 case per year in U.S. Endodermal sinus tumor may be classified according to [[histology]] groups.The [[diagnosis]] of endodermal sinus tumor is made based on the [[imaging]] (U/S and MRI) and [[alpha fetoprotein]] ([[AFP]]) [[tumor marker]] greater than 100 ng/ml. Endodermal sinus tumor have a [[bimodal distribution]] more commonly observed among [[Young adult|young]] and [[adult]] [[population]]. The [[symptoms]] of endodermal sinus tumor include the followings: [[abdominal distention]], acute/sub acute [[abdominal pain]]. Endodermal sinus tumor is treated with [[surgery]] depending on the [[tumor]] [[marker]] and [[imaging]] as well as [[fertility]] desired.The [[medical]] [[therapy]] for endodermal sinus tumor is [[chemotherapy]] such as [[bleomycin]], [[etoposide]], and [[cisplatin]] for 3 to 4 cycles for 21 days.

Overview

Endodermal sinus tumor was first discovered by Dr. Gunner Telium, a Danish pathologist, in 1959. The hypermethylation of the RUNX3 gene promoter and overexpression of GATA-4, a transcription factor has been associated with the development of endodermal sinus tumor. Endodermal sinus tumor is a rare type of malignant ovarian tumor that occurs in the second decade of life. On gross pathology, a solid gray-white with gelatinous, myxoid, or mucoid appearance, necrosis, cystic changes, and hemorrhage are characteristic findings of endodermal sinus tumor. On microscopic histopathological analysis, Schiller-Duval bodies is a characteristic finding of endodermal sinus tumor. Endodermal sinus tumor must be differentiated from other diseases that cause pelvic mass, such as Stein-Leventhal syndrome, and seminoma. In 2015, the incidence of endodermal sinus tumor is estimated to less than 1/100,000 case per year in U.S. Endodermal sinus tumor may be classified according to histology groups.The diagnosis of endodermal sinus tumor is made based on the imaging (U/S and MRI) and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) tumor marker greater than 100 ng/ml. Endodermal sinus tumor have a bimodal distribution more commonly observed among young and adult population. The symptoms of endodermal sinus tumor include the followings: abdominal distention, acute/sub acute abdominal pain. Endodermal sinus tumor is treated with surgery depending on the tumor marker and imaging as well as fertility desired.The medical therapy for endodermal sinus tumor is chemotherapy such as bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin for 3 to 4 cycles for 21 days.

Historical Perspective

  • Endodermal sinus tumor was first discovered by Dr. Gunner Telium, a Danish pathologist in 1959.[1][2]

Classification

  • Endodermal sinus tumor may be classified according to histology into 10 groups:[3]

Pathophysiology

  • The hypermethylation of the RUNX3 gene promoter and overexpression of GATA-4, a transcription factor has been associated with the development of endodermal sinus tumor.[4]
  • Ovarian endodermal sinus tumor may be result of differentiation of primitive malignant germ cell components of vitelline structures.[5]
  • On gross pathology, encaptulated, firm, smooth, round, globular, solid gray-white with a gelatinous, myxoid, or mucoid appearance, necrosis, cystic changes, and hemorrhage are characteristic findings of endodermal sinus tumor.[6]
  • On microscopic histopathological analysis, Schiller-Duval bodies (invaginated papillary structures with central vessel) is a characteristic finding of endodermal sinus tumor. The tumors are composed of irregular space lined by flattened to cuboidal cells and recticular stroma[7].[8]

Causes

  • There are no established causes for endodermal sinus tumor.[9]

Differentiating Endodermal sinus tumor from Other Diseases

Endodermal sinus tumor must be differentiated from other diseases that cause pelvic mass, abdominal pain and abdominal distention such as:[10][11]

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • In 2015, the incidence of endodermal sinus tumor is estimated to less than 1/100,000 case per year in U.S.[12]

Age

Gender

  • Endodermal sinus tumor affects men and women equally.[14]

Race

  • There is no racial predilection for endodermal sinus tumor.
