Acute abdominopelvic pain and distension in a 21-year-old woman revealing a mixed germ cell tumor: A case report
Mixed OGCTs are uncommon neoplasms that require early diagnosis and tailored management. This case is noteworthy due to the rare presentation of a mixed germ cell tumor in a young woman and the multidisciplinary approach undertaken to balance oncological management with fertility preservation, utilizing a transvaginal surgical technique to respect the patient's cultural and personal beliefs.
