ENDODERMAL SINUS TUMOR, CELLS, BIOPSYAbstract
Ovarian tumor diseases in girls are infrequent. Endodermal sinus tumor is a tumor derived from primitive multipotential cells or germ cells, which differentiate into structures of the yolk sac. The tumor is very aggressive and rare. This study presents the case of a 15-year-old female patient with a chief complaint of increase of the lower abdomen and moderate abdominal pain in the epigastrium. She was thin, pale and had a palpable abdominal mass in the lower hemiabdomen from the hypogastrium up to 3 cm above the navel. On palpation the mass was not painful, and it was firm and smooth with irregular border and unmovable. Investigations were ordered, including imaging tests. Surgical intervention was decided to perform excision of the tumor and anatomopathologic studies. A diagnosis of endodermal sinus tumor or yolk sac tumor of the right ovary was made. This study is presented to the medical community as the first case with a diagnosis of this condition in the province.Downloads
