Patients with [[germ cells]] of the [[ovary]] usually appear normal. [[Physical examination]] of these patients is usually unremarkable and the [[tumors]] tend to be discovered incidentally or during [[imaging]] workups for another reason. When [[symptomatic]], the [[physical examination]] may be remarkable for [[Abdominal]]/[[pelvic]] [[mass]] and/or [[signs]] of [[virilization]], [[precocious puberty]], and [[pregnancy]] depending on the capacity of the [[tumor]] for the production of [[hormones]].

Overview

Patients with germ cells of the ovary usually appear normal. Physical examination of these patients is usually unremarkable and the tumors tend to be discovered incidentally or during imaging workups for another reason. When symptomatic, the physical examination may be remarkable for Abdominal/pelvic mass and/or signs of virilization, precocious puberty, and pregnancy depending on the capacity of the tumor for the production of hormones.
