Abstract

Unclassified mixed germ cell-sex cord-stromal tumor (UMGC-SCST) is a rare ovarian neoplasm composed of germ cells and sex cord elements, which occurs in genetically and phenotypically normal women without the usual histological features seen in gonadoblastoma. Few cases have been reported in the literature so far. The age of presentation is more frequent in girls younger than 10 years of age, although it can also occur in adult women. It can be associated with isosexual pseudoprecocity. The preferred management is the resection of the gonad that contains the tumor and the conservation of the opposite ovary and tube. This is a case of a 14-year-old patient, with precocious puberty and normal phenotype, diagnosed with this kind of ovarian tumor. A fertility preserving surgery with the resection of the right ovarian tumor and tube was performed. The patient was classified as stage IA according to the 2014 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). She received adjuvant chemotherapy with bleomycin-etoposide-cisplatin for three cycles. After a follow-up of 24 months, she was found to be asymptomatic and free of relapse.
