Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Treatment (PDQÂ®)âPatient Version 1 Ovarian germ cell tumor is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the germ (egg) cells of the ovary. 2  Signs of ovarian germ cell tumor are swelling of the abdomen or vaginal bleeding after menopause.he metastatic tumor is the same type of tumor as the primary tumor. For example, if an ovarian germ cell tumor spreads to the liver, the tumor cells in the liver are actually cancerous ovarian germ cells. The disease is metastatic ovarian germ cell tumor, not liver cancer.

Uterus: Endometrial Carcinoma Back to Cancer by Type. Carcinoma of the ovary is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies. In many cases, it is curable when found early, but because it does not cause any symptoms in its early stages, most women have widespread disease at the time of diagnosis. Partly because of this, the mortality rate from ovarian cancer exceeds that for all other gynecologic malignancies combined.

- Ovarian germ cell tumor is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the germ (egg) cells of the ovary. Germ cell tumors begin in the reproductive cells (egg or sperm) of the body. Ovarian germ cell tumors usually occur in teenage girls or young women and most often affect just one ovary.he metastatic tumor is the same type of tumor as the primary tumor. For example, if an ovarian germ cell tumor spreads to the liver, the tumor cells in the liver are actually cancerous ovarian germ cells.

Ovarian mucinous tumor Mucinous tumors (or mucinous tumours) are part of the surface epithelial-stromal tumor group of ovarian neoplasms, and account for approximately 36% of all ovarian tumors.Approximately 75% are benign, 10% are borderline and 15% are malignant.he major distinguishing features of mucinous tumors are that the tumors are filled with a mucus-like material, which gives them their name; this mucus is produced by mucus-secreting goblet cells very similar to the cells lining normal intestine.

Diagnosis The other modality is radiation treatment, which is used in only certain instances. It utilizes high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Surgical treatment of ovarian cancer is best performed by a gynecologic oncologist who has been specially trained in the diagnosis and management of gynecologic malignancy.
