Abstract
We report the case of a 21-year-old single woman who presented with a high-grade immature teratoma revealed by a progressive increase in abdominal circumference, operated on immediately, and in whom we opted for active surveillance instead of adjuvant chemotherapy, Through this observation and the review of the literature, we will be able to discuss and discover what an immature teratoma is and mainly see the indications for adjuvant chemotherapy in high-grade cases, the type of chemotherapy and the modalities of active surveillance.
