Overview
The clinical manifestations of patients with ovarian germ cell tumors depend on the type of the tumor and its potential to produce hormonal materials. Usually, they present with abdominal pain or distention, menstrual irregularities, symptoms of virilization, rapidly growing abdominal/pelvic mass, acute abdominal pain from complications such as necrosis, capsular distention, rupture or torsion and or simply they can be asymptomatic.
History and Symptoms
The clinical manifestations of patients with ovarian germ cell tumors depend on the type of the tumor and its potential to produce hormonal materials. Usually, they present with abdominal pain or distention, menstrual irregularities, symptoms of virilization, rapidly growing abdominal/pelvic mass, acute abdominal pain from complications such as necrosis, capsular distention, rupture or torsion and or simply they can be asymptomatic.[1]
Mature teratoma
- Approximately 20 % of patients with mature ovarian teratoma are asymptomatic.[2]
- The most common symptom in those who are symptomatic is lower abdominal pain.
- Acute abdominal pain may indicate the tumor is complicated by ovarian torsion or rupture that may happen in 5%-10% of affected individuals.
- Torsion usually tends to complicate at a greater extent the intermediate-sized tumors rather than the larger or smaller ones.
- Acute abdominal pain may indicate the tumor is complicated by ovarian torsion or rupture that may happen in 5%-10% of affected individuals.
- Hypotension or shock may occur in case of spontaneous rupture.
- Spontaneous rupture may happen in <4% of affected individuals.
