Malignant germ cell tumor of the cervix uteri is a rare type of cancer that affects the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. It is usually caused by abnormal growth of germ cells, which are the cells that produce eggs in the female reproductive system. Symptoms of this type of cancer may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, and pain during intercourse. Treatment typically involves surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy.

The most common symptom of a malignant germ cell tumor of the cervix uteri is abnormal vaginal bleeding. Other symptoms may include pelvic pain, Pain during intercourse, and a foul-smelling vaginal discharge. In some cases, the tumor may cause blockage of the urinary tract, leading to difficulty urinating or frequent urination.

The treatment for malignant germ cell tumor of the cervix uteri depends on the stage of the cancer. Generally, treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and/or targeted therapy. Surgery is usually the first line of treatment and may involve a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and/or a lymph node dissection (removal of lymph nodes).
