2015, Gynecologic Oncology ReportsCitation Excerpt :Primary debulking surgery may not have been performed if pre-operative histology had revealed yolk sac characteristics. To our knowledge, there are 20 published reports of ovarian endodermal yolk sac tumours in post-menopausal patients ranging between 53 and 86 years at presentation (Table 1) (Kammerer-Doak et al., 1996; Rutgers et al., 1987; Nogales et al., 1996; Horiuchi et al., 1998; Mazur et al., 1988; Arai et al., 1999; Brown and Green, 1976; Kinoshita, 1990; Ferracini et al., 1979; Lopez et al., 2003; Oh et al., 2001; Pliskow, 1993; Lange et al., 2012; Filiz et al., 2003; Roma and Przybycin, 2014; Meguro and Yasuda, 2013). Most (Oh et al., 2001) cases involved mixed yolk sac tumours with embryonal, endometrioid carcinoma, cystadenoma/cystadenofibroma or cystadenocarcinoma subtypes, the oldest case being 82 years of age (Kammerer-Doak et al., 1996; Rutgers et al., 1987; Nogales et al., 1996; Horiuchi et al., 1998; Mazur et al., 1988; Arai et al., 1999; Lopez et al., 2003; Roma and Przybycin, 2014; Meguro and Yasuda, 2013).
α-Fetoprotein-producing ovarian tumor in a postmenopausal woman with germ cell differentiation
2013, Annals of Diagnostic PathologyCitation Excerpt :To the best of our knowledge, 35 cases with APOT in postmenopausal women have been documented so far in the English literature. Of them, preoperative serum AFP elevation was proven in 20 cases as well as immunohistochemical expression for AFP [3-20]. The clinical features and histologic findings of these cases are summarized in Table 2.
Ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma with a yolk sac tumor component in a postmenopausal woman: Case report and review of the literature
2012, Clinical Ovarian and other Gynecologic CancerCitation Excerpt :YSTs represent about 7.3% of malignant germ cell tumors.4 YSTs coexisting with a variety of histologic patterns has been described but those with an epithelial malignant component are extremely rare.5 We describe a rare case of ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma with a YST component occurring in a postmenopausal woman.
