To our knowledge, this is the first report of a malignant mixed Mullerian tumor with metastasis to the pancreas. The metastatic tumor was identified by endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspirat...

Mature cystic teratoma is the most common benign neoplasm of the ovary, accounting for 27-44% of all ovarian tumors and up to 58% of benign ovarian tumors [1], and is composed of mature-appearing derivatives of two or three embryonal layers [2]. Ectodermal derivatives are observed in almost all mature teratomas [2]. Organized mature neural tissue is a common component. Glial tissue is the most ...
