Abstract :

Yolk sac tumor is a rare highly malignant ovarian tumor in pregnancy that arises from the germ cell of the ovary. It is accounted for 2-4% of cancer in women of reproductive age. It leads to significant mortality and morbidity to both mother and baby. This is a case report of a 26-year old Filipino woman who presented with a rapid enlarging ovarian new growth on her first and subsequent prenatal ultrasound. The patient underwent an Exploratory Laparotomy at 23 weeks and 4 days of gestation. Histopathology showed yolk sac tumor. Chemotherapy was delayed to the end of the pregnancy due to the patientâ??s concern of fetal risks.
