}} Germ cell tumours are neoplasmsderived from germ cells. In females, germ cell tumours account for 30% of ovarian tumours, but only 1 to 3% of ovarian cancersin North America. In younger women germ cell lesions are more common, thus in patients under the age of 21, 60% of ovarian tumours are of the germ cell type, and up to one-third are malignant. In males, germ cell tumours occur typically after puberty and are malignant (testicular cancer). Germ cell tumours may develop outside of the gonads.

Classification

(ICD-Ocodes are provided where available.)

Benign

  • (9080/0) Mature teratoma- the most common variant is the dermoid cyst(9084/0), or benign cystic teratoma, a common ovarian neoplasm, typically not cancerous.

Malignant

  • (9080/3) Immature teratoma
  • (9060/3) Dysgerminoma
  • (M9071/3) Yolk sac tumour(Endodermal sinus tumor)
  • (M9070/3) Embryonal carcinoma
  • (9072/3) Polyembryoma
  • (M9100/3) Choriocarcinoma
  • (9073/1) Gonadoblastoma
  • Mixed lesions

The general approach to histologicclassification is the same as for the testis.
