Abstract

Malignant neuroectodermal tumor with differentiation medullo-blastoma-like in an immature ovarian teratoma is a very rare and aggressive tumor. Only few cases are reported and most occur in adolescence. In our experience we performed a conservative surgery for a FIGO stage 1A tumor but bone recurrence followed within 5 months from surgery. Association of CHT (cisplatin-etoposide followed by tandem high-dose Thiotepa and auto transplantation of hematopoietic stem cell) and external beam radiotherapy was effective for the management of the recurrence but no guidelines are still available.
