Metachronous Synovial Sarcoma After Treatment of Mixed Germ Cell Tumor in a Child with Complete Gonadal Dysgenesis

Abstract

Patients with complete XY gonadal dysgenesis (GD) show a high predisposition to germ cell tumors (GCT). Patients with coexistence of GCT and GD have been reported previously. Here we present a 15-year-old girl with mixed GCT and GD who also developed an intra-abdominal synovial sarcoma one year after the treatment. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of synovial sarcoma associated with XY GD.
