Dysgerminoma comprises 3%–5% among ovarian malignancies, mostly seen in adolescent and early adult women. The recurrence rate is approximately 10%–20%, occurring within 2 years of diagnosis, and has been reported that more than 75% occur in the 1st year. A 19‑year‑old nulligravid initially presented with severe abdominal pain, who underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy and left salpingo‑oophorectomy, whose histopathologic result revealed dysgerminoma, Stage IC2. Recurrence of dysgerminoma was noted on the contralateral ovary 10 months after for which she had undergone another surgery for wedge resection of the right ovarian mass and complete surgical staging. She received adjuvant chemotherapy without complications. Despite two consecutive surgeries and chemotherapy, she had conceived naturally and her pregnancy was carried to term with no complications and delivered to a live baby girl by normal spontaneous delivery. This case is a proof of how fertility‑sparing surgeries and chemotherapy in dysgerminoma can successfully preserve reproductive functions for future conceptions.

Complete gonadal dysgenesis with 46,XY karyotype is a clinical condition characterized by the absence of testicular tissue but typical Mullerian structures in a phenotypically female individual. The condition presents as primary amenorrhoea or delayed puberty. Eventually, malignant neoplasms may arise. We report a case of a 16-year-old patient with Swyer syndrome presenting with primary amenorrhoea and with previous diagnosis four years earlier of a malignant dysgerminoma in the right ovary.

In 5 years (1994-1998), 168 patients with ovarian germ cell tumors were diagnosed and treated in HCM city Cancer Hospital. Ovarian germ cell tumor is a rare disease. These tumors were often detected in early stage (61.2% in stage I, among them 39.6% in stage IA). The tumor marker AFP plays an important role in diagnosis and follow-up the disease. AFP was positive in 60% cases of malignant germ cell tumors, among them 55.6% were immature teratomas, and AFP was negative in dysgerminoma. The rate of teratomas was highest: 53%, rate of dysgerminoma: 19%, endodermal sinus tumor 14.9%, embryonal carcinoma 9.5% and mixed forms 3.6%. It’s necessary to emphasize the role of preservative surgery in the treatment of these tumors

Swyer syndrome is a type of gonadal dysgenesis wherein a 46,XY karyotype presents with a female phenotype. It is a rare cause of disorder in sexual development that occurs in 1:100,000 births. Local studies are currently limited to few case reports. Sex-determining region on the Y chromosome gene mutation is the root cause of nonfunctional gonads with no hormonal or reproductive potential. They are born with normal female external genitalia but not suspected until puberty when menses do not occur or if secondary sexual characteristics do not develop. This report presents the case of a 23-year-old phenotypically female presenting with primary amenorrhea and hypogastric discomfort. Ultrasound revealed an infantile cervix and uterus with streak left ovarian tissue and a cystic mass on the right pelvic area. Gonadotropin levels were elevated, and the karyotype showed a normal male 46,XY. Laparoscopic bilateral gonadectomy with salpingectomy was done, which revealed dysgerminoma on bilateral ovarian tissues. In conclusion, this report describes a rare case of Swyer syndrome associated with ovarian dysgerminoma. Accurate and prompt diagnosis, using a systematic approach in evaluating primary amenorrhea, is crucial in initiating treatment. Our goal is to ensure hormonal replacement, fertility preservation, psychosexual and emotional stress reduction, and overall patient survival.

45X/47XYY mosaicism is a very rare sex chromosomal disorder with limited clinical information. We experienced an unusual mosaic syndrome in a 16-year old woman with a phenotypic female, short stature, and immature secondary sexual characteristics. We performed both gonadectomy and found a gonadoblastoma in one gonad and dysgerminoma in another gonad.
