Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The malignant ovarian germ cell tumors incidence increses from 5 years of age, although it may be presnt 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.[1][2][3]
  • In USA the age-adjusted incidence of malignant ovarian germ cell tumor is 0.41 per 100,000 women.[4]
  • These tumors are less common than ovarian epithelial tumors.

Mature teratoma

Dysgerminoma

Yolk sac tumor

Embryonal carcinoma

Choriocarcinom

Prevalence

Mature teratoma

Dysgerminoma

Mixed germ cell tumor

Embryonal carcinoma

Endodermal sinus tumor

Non-gestational choriocarcinoma

Age

  • Although The malignant germ cell tumors may be present during the infancy, the has been reported between the age of 15 and 19 years where dysgerminoma is the most common type observed.[1][2][3]
  • In USA the age-adjusted incidence of malignant ovarian germ cell tumor is 0.41 per 100,000 women.[4]
  • In those who are aged 9 years old or younger, the incidence has been reported to be 0.1 per 100,000 girls.[13]
  • In those between the age of 10 to 19 years old, the incidence has been reported to be 1.1 per 100,000 girls.
  • 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.[14]

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.[15]
  • The incidence of [disease name] increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is [#] years.

Immature teratoma

  • Immature teratoma tends to affect younger patient than mature teratomas (usually the first 2 decades of life).[16]

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.[17]
  • The tumor is uncommon prepubertal or postmenopausal.
  • [Chronic disease name] is usually first diagnosed among [age group].
  • [Acute disease name] commonly affects [age group].

Yolk sac tumor

  • They are most common in women in the second and third decades of life and rarely happens after the age 40.[18]

Embryonal carcinoma

  • They affect primarily children and young adults.[19]
