"Calcification may be present in a speckled pattern. Characteristic imaging findings include multilobulated solid masses with prominent fibrovascular septa. Post-contrast imaging can often show enhancement of the septae."

"The tumours are usually hormonally inert 4 and in their pure form are not associated with endocrine hormone secretion. However, syncytiotrophoblastic giant cells, which produce HCG, are present in 5% of dysgerminomas and can cause elevation of serum HCG levels. LDH can also be raised making it useful in diagnosis and post-operative follow-up of ovarian dysgerminoma 6."
