A woman with an endodermal sinus tumor of the ovary stage IV obtained a short but complete remission after treatment with vinblastine, bleomycin and standard dose cisplatin. A second complete remission for 42 + months was obtained with a regimen of vinblastine, bleomycin, etoposide, and high dose cisplatin. This result suggests a dose‐response relationship for cisplatin in ovarian germ cell tumors.
