germ cell tumors in females - tumors of germ cells in females
Definition for germ cell tumors in females
Germ cell tumor (GCT) is a tumor (neoplasm) derived from germ cells. (Germ cells themselves are not pathogenic; i.e., they are not the viral and bacterial "germs" that cause illness.) Germ cell tumors can occur both inside and outside of the gonads (ovary and testis).
