Abstract
Malignant ovarian germ cell tumours typically require multimodal therapy including surgery and systemic platinum-based chemotherapy. Most patients are cured, with survival rates exceeding 95%. This report describes an unusual case of ovarian germ cell tumour (GCT) recurring 15 years after surgery and manifesting as metastatic disease to the liver, lung, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Thymic hyperplasia was a confounding finding in this case, and it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a mediastinal mass in heavily treated patients with GCT.
