What is teratoma

First of all, teratoma is a common type of ovarian germ cell tumor, which comes from germ cells and is divided into mature teratoma (benign teratoma) and immature teratoma (malignant teratoma). Different situations show different phenomena. When such situations arise, we should treat them differently.

Secondly, benign teratomas contain many kinds of components, including skin, hair, teeth, bone, oil, nerve tissue, etc.; malignant teratomas are poorly differentiated, with little or no formed tissue and unclear structure. Most of the early teratomas have no obvious clinical symptoms and are found by chance during physical examination.

Finally, the etiology is unclear, which may be related to the abnormal differentiation of germ cells in embryonic stage. And the reason for this situation is not the same for everyone. When the disease occurs, we should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
