Abstract
Introduction: A germ cell is a type of Tumor that arises from germ cell (GCT). Germ cell tumors are both cancerous and benign. The gonads contains majority of germ cell (ovary and testis). GCT that arise outside the gonads could be the result of embryo devlopment errors.
 Clinical Findings: Abdominal mass without pain, backache, and weight loss.
 Diagnostic Evaluation: HCG and alphafetoprotein level in the blood identifying women with malignant ovarian germ cell tumor is beneficial. Serum alphafetoprotein and HCG is elevated as condition progress.
 Therapeutic Intervention: Patient treated with inj. Bleomycin, inj. Cisplatin, inj.Etoposide, tab Pan 40 miligram and inj. Emset.
 Conclusion: A 3year old female was admitted in AVBRH Sawangi Meghe wardha with the major complaint of right abdominal swelling for 6 month, both when they observed abdominal mass without pain and swelling was small in size and backache and weight loss.
Highlights
A germ cell is a type of Tumor that arises from germ cell (GCT)
While GCTs in adolescents and adults appear to have the same histology and molecular biology, germ cell tumours in very young children have substantial difference suggesting that maybe unique disease [2]
GCT roughly accounts for 3% malignacies in children aged 0–18 and their prevalence increses as they approach pubertyGCTs account for 15% of all malignancies in children under the age of 18.Pediatric GCTs are treated with cisplatin based multiagent regimens, which have proven to be highly efficacious even in the setting of advanced disease, similar to adult GCTs [3]
