Overview

In USA, the age-adjusted incidence of malignant ovarian germ cell tumor is 0.41 per 100,000 women. Incidence of these tumors increases from 5 years of age, although it may be present during infancy, and this increase continues to peak between the age of 15 to 19 years which is approximately 1.2 per 100,000 women. Another peak incidence of these tumors has been reported among those aged 65 years old or older where teratoma is the most common type observed. The incidence is higher among non-white ethnicity (other than black, especially Hispanic and Asians) followed by white and black individuals. Females are more commonly affected by germ cell tumors than males. These tumors also account for a greater proportion of ovarian tumors in the Asia and Africa.

Epidemiology

Incidence

Incidence of Ovarian germ cell tumors
Mature teratoma
Dysgerminoma
Yolk sac tumor Age-adjusted incidence of this tumor is 0.048 per 100,000 women-year.[6]
Embryonal carcinoma Age-adjusted incidence of this tumor is 0.014 per 100,000 women-year.[6]
Choriocarcinom Age-adjusted incidence of this tumor is 0.008 per 100,000 women-year.[6]

Prevalence

Prevalence of Ovarian germ cell tumors
Mature teratoma Mature teratoma is the most common ovarian germ cell tumor and accounts for 95% of ovarian teratomas.[8]
Dysgerminoma
Mixed germ cell tumor
Embryonal carcinoma These tumors are very rare, comprising only 1% of ovarian germ cell tumors, and usually are a component of mixed germ cell tumors.[11]
Endodermal sinus tumor The pure form of these tumors are the third most common ovarian tumors.[10]
Non-gestational choriocarcinoma These tumors comprised less than 1% of malignant ovarian germ cell tumors.[12]

Demographics

Age

Age
Mature teratoma Patients of all age groups may develop mature teratoma. However, they tend to present between 20 to 30 years of age at a greater extent.[14]
Immature teratoma Immature teratoma tends to affect younger patient than mature teratomas (usually the first 2 decades of life).[15]
Dysgerminoma
  • Dysgerminoma commonly affects individuals younger than 30 years of age in 85% of cases.[9]
  • The median age at the time of diagnosis is approximately 19 to 23 years, although it may happen at any age.[16]
  • The tumor is uncommon prepubertal or postmenopausal.
Yolk sac tumor They are most common in women in the second and third decades of life and rarely happens after the age 40.[17]
Embryonal carcinoma They affect primarily children and young adults.[16]
Choriocarcinoma
