Comments:
Dysgerminomas are large (average size 15 cm), lobulated, solid, soft fleshy tumors with yellow-tan or gray white appearance. Areas of cystic change, hemorrhage and necrosis may be present but are not common. The tumors arising in a background of gonadoblastoma often show calcification.

The image shows a dysgerminoma with variably sized yellow and brown tumor nodules. Image courtesy of: Jian-Hua Qiao, MD, FCAP, Los Angeles, CA, USA; used with permission.
