The data on 80 cases of ovarian dysgerminoma are presented. The average age of patients was 19.1. In 9 out of 18 menstruation--free patients dysgerminoma was associated with genital infantilism and intersexuality. Pain was the most frequent symptom (70%). In 82%, correct diagnosis was established during primary examination. Among the most frequent misdiagnoses were acute appendicitis or pregnancy. Stage I tumor was established in nearly 70%. Unilateral involvement was registered in 83.5% of cases. Metastatic spread was limited to peritoneal cavity in 19.2%, paraaortic lymph nodes were involved in 16.4%. Five-year survival rate was 71.4%. Such characteristics of tumor process as stage and size of neoplasm proved to be of the highest prognostic value. The choice of a treatment modality was found to produce an insignificant effect on the results of therapy.
