Teratomas of the uterus are rare neoplasms and are usually polypous lesions that present clinically as abnormal uterine bleeding. Gliomatosis peritonei (GP) is characterized by peritoneal implants of non-neuronal glial tissue and is a rarely-encountered complication of ovarian teratomas. To the best of our knowledge, mature cystic teratoma of the uterus as well as ovarian teratoma with GP and ovarian endometriosis are rare phenomena. Here, we report a case of mature cystic teratoma of the uterus presenting as an endometrial polyp in a patient with a history of ovarian teratoma with GP and ovarian endometriosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
