[Dysgerminoma of the ovary during pregnancy (author's transl)].

A report presented of a case of giant dysgerminoma which initiated an acute abdomen necessitating surgical intervention during the mid-trimester of pregnancy. Two months later the patient was delivered of a healthy baby by Caesarean section. Repeated follow-up examinations of the patient have so far confirmed the favourable prognosis based on the pathological findings and intra-operative assessment.
