Sonographic Assessment of Ovarian Embryonal Cell Carcinoma
Ovarian embryonal cell carcinoma is an uncommon ovarian germ cell tumor. This case study is a report of a patient referred for sonography based on abdominal pain and abnormal levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG). A large heterogeneous pelvic mass was characterized by sonography and was surgically proven to be a malignant ovarian embryonal cell carcinoma.
