Age?
Male Equivalent?
Young women and girls
Male equivalent is seminoma
Pathogenesis of Dysgerminoma
c-kit upregulated (diagnostic and theraputic target)
Transcription factors oct3,4, and Nanog maintain pleuripotency

Mature Teratoma
all three germ ayers
commonest germ cell tumor
Immature Teratoma
potentially malignant
