Advanced-Stage Gonadal Dysgerminoma in a Patient With a Previous Diagnosis of Familial Swyer Syndrome: A Very Rare Genetic Entity. [PDF]
Introduction Swyer syndrome is a genetic abnormality characterized by a 46,XY karyotype in a phenotypically female individual. Affected individuals typically have average or tall stature, unambiguous genitalia at birth, the presence of Müllerian structures, and bilateral streak gonads.

Tumor Microenvironments in Malignant Ovarian Germ Cell Tumors: MHC Class I Loss and T-Cell Exhaustion in Dysgerminoma. [PDF]
Malignant ovarian germ cell tumor subtypes exhibit distinct tumor microenvironments. Dysgerminomas harbor abundant nonexhausted T cells, with progenitor exhausted T cells present in 60% of PD‐1–positive cases. However, MHC class I expression is lost across all analyzed subtypes, suggesting that restoring class I expression in dysgerminomas may enhance ...

Ovarian Dysgerminoma – Challenging Presurgical Diagnosis and Mini-Mally Invasive Treatment
Dysgerminoma is a rare malignant germ cell tumor of the ovary that often affects women in reproductive age. The presurgical differentiation of dysgerminoma from benign conditions is challenging. In early stages, malignant dysgerminoma can be treated with
