J M Malone, and D M Gershenson, and R K Creasy, and J J Kavanagh, and E G Silva, and C A Stringer

The association of endodermal sinus tumor of the ovary with pregnancy is a rare event. Reported is a patient with stage Ic endodermal sinus tumor diagnosed in the 25th week of gestation. She received two cycles of combination chemotherapy consisting of vinblastine, bleomycin, and cisplatin, and delivered a healthy male infant by cesarean section at 32 weeks' gestation. She subsequently completed three more cycles of chemotherapy and remains alive and well. This is the first reported case of a patient with endodermal sinus tumor treated with combination chemotherapy during pregnancy that had a successful outcome for both mother and infant. The literature concerning the association of endodermal sinus tumor and pregnancy and the use of chemotherapy during pregnancy is reviewed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008649 Mesonephroma A rare tumor of the female genital tract, most often the ovary, formerly considered to be derived from mesonephric rests. Two varieties are recognized: (1) clear cell carcinoma, so called because of its histologic resemblance to renal cell carcinoma, and now considered to be of muellerian duct derivation and (2) an embryonal tumor (called also ENDODERMAL SINUS TUMOR and yolk sac tumor), occurring chiefly in children. The latter variety may also arise in the testis. (Dorland, 27th ed) Mesonephromas
D010051 Ovarian Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
