Resumen

Ovarian germ cell tumors are a very diverse histologic group. The most frequent malignant tumor of this lineage is dysgerminoma, which mainly affects young women. There are few reports on the particular characteristics on ultrasound, being included dysgerminoma indistinctly in series of ovarian tumors as a solid mass. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance have contributed significantly to the characterization of dysgerminoma. The following is a description of three cases of dysgerminomas suspected by ultrasound, in order to determine common characteristics and contrast them with the findings in the literature.
