    "abstract": "Primary extragonadal germ cell tumors (EGCTs) are a very rare clinical encounter most commonly reported in males. Among females, the placenta, pelvis, uterus, brain, and mediastinum are the most common extragonadal sites and predominantly display nondysgerminoma histology. In this report, we present a case of a primary cervical dysgerminoma in a young female patient. \nThe uterine cervix is a very unusual site for primary dysgerminoma and can have a very aggressive clinical course. A high index of suspicion and an exhaustive workup are necessary to reach a diagnosis, particularly in a young patient presenting with a cervical lesion.",
