چکیده
Incidence of malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs) in the Saudi Arabian population has not been studied before. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to define the population-based incidence rates and histopathological types of MOGCTs in the Saudi Arabian population from 1999 to 2008. Our study showed that MOGCTs are a common type of ovarian tumors in the Saudi Arabian population, and the incidence rates and histopathological types are relatively comparable to the international populations with few differences.
