Abstract
BACKGROUND
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare autosomal recessive inheritance at which the abdomino-thoracic organs are mirror-image transposed. Germ cell tumors originate from the primitive germ cell of the ovary and testis.
CASE REPORT PRESENTATION
A rare association between malignant ovarian mixed germ cell tumor and SIT was presented in a 32-years-old Egyptian female, successfully treated with laparoscopic total abdominal hysterectomy, right salpingo-oophorectomy, and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy (laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy) of both sides. This case is considered the first of its kind worldwide.
CONCLUSION
SIT may be associated with malignant ovarian germ cell tumors. Surgical intervention could be done laparoscopically.
