Teratomas are common tumors in children. The most common sites are gonads, however, several extragonadal sites are well known such as sacrococcygeal region, mediastinum, head and neck, stomach, and vagina. Occasionally, teratomas occur in unusual sites which pose diagnostic difficulties. Here, we describe two cases of infantile teratomas with unusual presentation. The first case was a 6-month-old girl who presented with a mass in the ri...

Bronchus-like Structures in Ovarian Teratomas: Report of a Series of a Previously Unreported Phenomenon With Potential For Misdiagnosis
We report 10 cases of a previously undescribed lesion within ovarian teratomas which we designate bronchus-like structures. The lesions occurred in patients aged 16 to 56 yr (mean: 36) and involved the left ovary (n=5) or right ovary (n=5). Nine cases were mature teratomas (dermoid cysts/mature cystic teratomas or mature solid teratomas), 1 with somatic malignant transformation, and 1 was an immature teratoma. The bronchus-like structures ranged in size from 2.5 to 10 mm and were unifocal (7 cases) or multifocal (3 cases). The morphology was relatively constant in all cases and characterised by a well-formed bronchus s...

Surgical management and outcomes for stage 1 malignant ovarian germ cell tumours: A UK multicentre retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Across all histologies and ages, the absence of surgical staging did not impact upon disease free or overall survival in this cohort. This study also raises the possibility of a role for ovarian cystectomy in immature teratoma. These findings warrant investigation in larger prospective studies.PMID:35192975 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2022.02.013 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Rare primary mature teratoma of the liver: A case report
CONCLUSION: Primary hepatic teratoma, including heterotopia of the thyroid gland in the liver, is an extremely rare condition in adults that needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis of solid-cystic neoplasms in the liver and cholangiocarcinoma. This case adds to the limited literature on the patient presentation, clinical workup and management of liver teratomas.PMID:35070019 | PMC:PMC8727195 | DOI:10.4254/wjh.v13.i12.2192 (Source: World Journal of Hepatology)

An Uncommon Recurrent Metastasis of Ovarian Immature Teratoma to the Small Bowel
In this study, we report, for the first time, a rare case of a recurrent ovarian immature teratoma with mature deposits in the small bowel. An incidental pelvi-abdominal mass was identified in a 30-year-old pregnant patient during antenatal ultrasonography. The mass, which was resected through salpingo-oopherectomy, was histopathologically characterized as an immature teratoma of grade 2 and treated with 3 cycles of chemotherapy. After 3 years of completing treatment, the patient suffered from severe anemia which was investigated by capsule endoscopy that identified a bleeding source in the ileum. Imaging studies revealed ...
