The gastric teratoma is a rare tumor that usually presents as an abdominal mass, with or without features of gastric outlet obstruction. We report two cases of gastric teratoma; one - mature in a male neonate and another - ruptured immature gastric teratoma in a female neonate.

Teratoma in the nasopharynx is one of the rare causes for nasal symptoms in the newborn. The present report was on a term "neonate" who had respiratory distress from a hidden teratoma. Cheaper and readily available investigation modalities including postnasal space X-ray and examination under anesthesia revealed nothing. A postnasal space computed tomography also revealed nothing. Magnetic reso...

The present short communication puts on record a case of ovarian teratoma in a water buffalo along with detailed description of its ovarian biometry, follicular fluid composition and functional assessment. The 2.0×2.3×2.9 cm teratoma was found in the right ovary of 2.4×2.6×4.2 cm size. The teratoma was firmly encapsulated with cartilaginous tissue and its cross section revealed tufts of hair ma...

One hundred and forty six patients with advanced germ cell testicular tumours (38 seminomas and 108 malignant teratomas) treated by combination chemotherapy were studied over 10 years. Most of the improvement seen was in patients with malignant teratoma undifferentiated. In the most recently treated patients (1984-1987) 75% of drug resistant cases were malignant teratoma intermediate compared w...

The hepatic teratoma is a very rare entity of which only 25 cases have been published so far. In our case the hepatic teratoma is associated with peritoneal gliomatosis, which is an indicator for an ongoing peritoneal spread of a teratoma. Wall calcifications and the homogeneity as well as the well defined border misled the radiologist to the diagnosis of an echinococcal cyst, which is the most...

Teratoma is the most commonly encountered germ cell tumour among the most common ovarian tumours; however, teratomas of the omentum and mesentery are extremely rare. They are usually asymptomatic or can produce compressive symptoms. The imaging features are suggestive. The present report describes such a case of primary omental teratoma encountered in a young patient, which was managed by surgi...

There are few cases of giant pediatric intraspinal teratoma. We report a case of a 4-month-old female baby with giant intraspinal teratoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine revealed a large intradural tumor from the C7 to S2 level, with solid, cystic, and fatty components. Partial surgical removal of the tumor showed pathology of a mature cystic teratoma. The imaging diagnosis of i...

Teratomas are most common germ cell tumors with two or more germ cell layers. Mature teratomas are common compared to Immature teratomas. These tumors are common in young and adolescent girls and induce large impact on their reproductive life and on the natural life span, which in turn depends upon the complications in case of Mature teratoma; Grading and staging of tumor in Immature teratoma. ...

Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is a frequent event, but thyroid papillary carcinoma and strumal carcinoid appear in mature cystic ovarian teratoma at the same time is extremely rare. The present case is the first patient of mature cystic ovarian teratoma with thyroid papillary carcinoma and strumal carcinoid reported from China in English. A review of the literature is performed, and the c...

INTRODUCTION Malignant transformation is a rare complication of mature cystic teratoma, with squamous cell carcinoma as the most common malignancy (in 75% of cases). In this article we present a case of a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma arising in a mature cystic teratoma and discuss the morphological and clinico-pathological features of malignant transformation in teratoma. CASE ...
