Moreover,once diagnosed,it responds highly to prescribed treatment,rescuing patient from infertility and early mortality.These tumors are radiosensitive.Here we present a case of 16 year old girl presenting with abdominal lump,ascites and abdominal pain with elevated urinary and serum hCG levels.An abdominal USG showed bilateral ovarian mass.Bilateral oophorectomy was done and diagnosis is confirmed by histopathology.
