Abstract:
:Four cases of immature teratoma of the ovary are presented and the recent literature is reviewed. The majority of these tumors were confined to one ovary at the time of diagnosis, and more than 75% occurred in women under 25 years of age. The two most important prognostic parameters were stage of disease and histologic grade. Optimal survival occurred when surgical tumor debulking was followed by combination chemotherapy. The addition of hysterectomy with contralateral adnexectomy did not improve the survival of patients with disease confined to one ovary. Similarly, postoperative radiation therapy was not shown to be beneficial in patients with this disease. Analysis of presently available data suggests that patients with teratocarcinoma of the ovary should be treated with tumor excision followed by at least 12 courses of chemotherapy with vincristine, actinomycin D, and cyclophosphamide. alpha-Fetoprotein may be useful as a biochemical marker of disease status in selected patients.
