Adjectival Hyphens

Line 5:7 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-menarchal'.

Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Primary ovarian choriocarcinoma (non gestational ovarian choriocarcinoma) arises presumably from a germ cell and is extremely rare. These may be mixed with other germ cell tumours like immature teratoma, dysgerminoma or rarely occur in a pure form - pure primary choriocarcinoma of the ovary."

Line 9:198 · Use the Oxford comma in 'teratoma, dysgerminoma or rarely'.
