Abstract

Germ cell tumors are the most common ovarian malignancies in females under the age of 21-years. However, they are very rare in older women. We present the eldest woman in the literature with an embryonal carcinoma. A 55-year-old woman complaining of irregular, heavy menses and pelvic pain was found to have a large pelvic mass and a positive pregnancy test. Subsequent investigation revealed a large right adnexal mass, and elevated b-hCG level. The pathological diagnosis of the mass identified at laparotomy turned out to be an embryonal carcinoma of the ovary. Although rare, the diagnosis of germ cell tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an adnexal mass in older women. Regardless of age, the treatment is similar; however, fertility-sparing treatment is not a priority in the older age group.

Özet

Germ hücreli tümörler 21 yaşın altındaki kadın hastalarda en sık görülen over kanseridir. Ancak, yaşlı hastalarda çok enderdir. Bu yazıda, literatürdeki en yaşlı embriyonel karsinom olgusu bildirilmiştir. Elli beş yaşındaki kadın hasta, düzensiz âdet ve kasık ağrısı şikâyetleri ile başvurmuş, yapılan muayenesinde büyük bir pelvik kitle saptanmış olup gebelik testi pozitiftir. İleri incelemesinde büyük bir sağ adneksiyel kitle ve yüksek b-hCG düzeyleri saptanmıştır. Laparotomide çıkartılan piyesin patolojik incelemesi ovaryen embriyonal karsinom olarak gelmiştir. Çok ender olmasına rağmen, yaşlı kadınlarda adneksiyel kitle ayırıcı tanısında germ hücreli tümörler de dikkate alınmalıdır. Yaşa bakılmaksızın, tedavi şekli aynıdır; ancak yaşlı grupta fertilite koruyucu cerrrahi ön planda değildir.
