 | | The incidence of teratoma in patients with pN1/N2/N3 disease increased from 9% (6 of 64) in clinical stage I to 35% (19 of 54) in clinical stage IIA (chi-square test p = 0.0006). | | | The incidence of teratoma in the retroperitoneum increased from 3% (6 of 209) in clinical stage I to 22% (19 of 85, chi-square test p <0.0001) in clinical stage IIA. | | | CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of teratoma in the retroperitoneum increases with clinical and pathological stage. |

| | Ovarian teratoma: Mature cystic teratomas of the ovary often are discovered as incidental findings on physical examination, during radiographic studies, or during abdominal surgery performed for other indications. | | | Benign cystic teratomas of the ovary found during pregnancy present the unique problem of weighing the risks of surgery and anesthesia versus the risk of the persistent adnexal mass. | | | Mature teratomas of the mediastinum should be completely surgically resected. |

| | Pharyngula::A step above a teratoma |
| | I'm not equating schizophrenics with a fetus in fetu or a teratoma, but the condition of being an infant with a fetus or a teratoma in you is in my comparison analogous to being schizophrenic. | | | I noticed that anencephaly seems pretty much par for the course with these things--but imagine if one of them DID grow a brain! | | | This is a bizarre condition in which either a twin gets incorporated into the body cavity of its sibling, or in which a teratoma becomes sufficiently organized that it resembles a fetus. |

| | Teratoma |
| | Malignant teratoma is treated according to its most prominent malignant component, usually by radical surgery, with or without radiotherapy. | | | Treatment of a teratoma consists of conservative surgical removal, a procedure which often requires finesse and delicacy because of the close proximity to important anatomic structures of the head and neck region. | | | Oral lesions have, however, been known to contain tissues from all parts of the body, including brain, bone, cartilage, skin, lung, and the gastrointestinal tract. |

| | Teratoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Some teratomata secrete thyroxine, in some cases to such a degree that it can lead to clinical hyperthyroidism in the patient. | | | Some teratomata secrete the "pregnancy hormone" human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which can be used in clinical practice to follow-up successful treatment or relapse in patients with a known HCG-secreting teratoma. | | | Teratomata often contain well-differentiated cells which can result in tissues growing in a teratoma which are quite different to the surrounding tissue—ovarian teratomas have been known to grow hair and teeth. |

| | It should also be noted that high titers of Anti-Ri have been identified in patients with a history of ovarian cancer but without any evidence of a PNS, suggesting caution in assessing the specificity of this auto-antibody for PNS. | | | The patient subsequently underwent a right salpingo-oophorectomy, and her adnexal mass was diagnosed as a benign mature cystic teratoma of the ovary. | | | In summary, we describe in this report an association of a common anti-neuronal antibody (anti-Ri) in a patient with a benign neoplasm, mature cystic teratoma of the ovary, and whose neurologic symptoms, short-term memory deficits, was apparently associated with her tumor. |

| | This is an example of a sacrococcygeal teratoma [sa-crow-cock-sa-jeal tear-a-toma], which is a tumor that affects roughly one out of every 35,000 births. | | | Such large teratomas are largely a danger during delivery, or from the blood system of the tumor monopolizing too much of the baby's circulatory system. | | | Often surgeons will remove the tumor while the baby is still in the womb, or deliver the baby by caesarian and operate afterwards. |
