Malignant tumours of ovary germ epithelium are very rare and account for about 2-5% of all ovarian tumours of germ origin. In adolescent patients under 20 years of age diagnosed to have ovarian tumour, these tumours originate from germ cells in about 70% of cases. Depending on the stage of the disease, medical treatment and age, the death rate ranges from 25% to 84%. A special group of germ tumours are mixed germ cells tumours built of two or more different types of germ tumours.
