RECURRENT MIXED GERM-CELL SEX CORD-STROMAL TUMOR OF THE OVARY IN AN ADULT

A 32-year-old woman underwent laparotomy and right salpingo-oophorecto my for a right adnexal mass. Examination of the specimen revealed a 77 g well-encapsulated tumor that was diagnosed as a mixed germ cell-sex cord-stromal tumor with annular tubules. Sixty-seven months after an uneventful recovery, a large recurrence was treated by total abdominal hysterectomy, left salpingo-oophorectomy, removal of peritoneal impla nts, lymphadenectomy, omentectomy, and chemotherapy. Histologically, t he neoplasm was identical to the one found in the right ovary. To our knowledge, no similar case has been previously reported.
