Extragonadal teratomas in women and adolescent girls: A systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: While rare, EGTs should be considered when evaluating pelviabdominal masses with imaging characteristics consistent with teratomas. Confirmation is usually intraoperative and a laparoscopic approach is reasonable if there is good surgeon comfort and the size is about 5 cm.PMID:34022590 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2021.05.005 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Extragonadal Teratomas in Women and Adolescent Girls: A Systematic Review
We present two cases: 1) a parasitic omental teratoma likely secondary to auto-amputation of an ovarian teratoma with subsequent omental reimplantation and 2) an omental immature teratoma likely due to parthenogenetic activation of displaced primordial germ cells. We subsequently conduct a systematic review to characterise EGTs. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

A fetus with an immature umbilical cord teratoma associated with exomphalos: case report and review of the literature
CONCLUSIONS: Umbilical cord teratomas, albeit very rare, should be emphasized as a possible differential diagnosis when abdominal wall defects are detected. Since cord teratomas may lead to adverse fetal or neonatal outcomes, close follow-up of the fetus is recommended.PMID:33817740 | DOI:10.47162/RJME.61.3.37 (Source: Romanian Journal of Morphology and Embryology)
