RESUMEN
Immature teratomas (IT) are rare and recurrences uncommon. A 12-year-old female with grade 3 (high-grade) ovarian IT underwent surgical resection but experienced early recurrences; the first was treated with surgery but the second was metastatic and managed with chemotherapy, resulting in growing-teratoma-syndrome and need for further surgery. She now remains well in uneventful clinical follow-up. We believe chemotherapy could be reserved for very carefully selected recurrent IT cases, which may alter the natural history of disease.
