Systemic mast cell disease associated with primary ovarian mixed malignant germ cell tumor.

Abstract

A 12-year-old girl with a mixed malignant germ cell tumor of the ovary, treated by surgery and chemotherapy, developed systemic mast cell disease (SMCD) approximately 3 months after chemotherapy. Hematologic malignancies have previously been noted in patients with mediastinal germ cell tumors but this is the first report of a primary ovarian germ cell neoplasm associated with SMCD.
