In view of the changing survival pattern of this rare malignant tumour of the ovary, a retrospective study of ovarian biopsies done at the Department of Pathology from 1974-1983 was carried out. There were 3 cases of endodermal sinus tumour among 624 ovarian biopsies studied. Of the 3 patients two are still surviving (1985), while the other survived for 1.2 years. All these patients had surgery followed by chemotherapy.
