An intense clinicopathologic study of 305 teratomas of the ovary

Abstract: A 20‐year retrospective review of 305 consecutive ovarian teratomas diagnosed in the surgical pathology department of the Kings County Hospital is presented. All but 10 cases represented the benign cystic variety of this tumor. One case of benign solid ovarian teratoma and 9 cases of malignant ovarian teratomas were also encountered. The laterality, age incidence, size, and gross and microscopic description of these tumors are discussed in considerable detail, as is the distribution of structures found within … Show more

“…In this present case an autoallergic haemolytic anaemia was not found. Caruso, Marsh, Minkowitz, and Karten (1971) have reviewed 305 teratomas of the ovary and discovered that thyroid tissue was present in only 20 cases (7 %) and struma ovarii in two cases (07 %). There is no mention of Hashimoto's disease in connexion with any of their cases.…”

“…The tumour cavity is filled with sebaceous material because of the squamous epithelia in the wall. This material is liquid at body temperature and semisolid at room temperature [16]. There is usually a raised protuberance, known as the Rokitansky protuberance, projecting into the cyst cavity [2].…”

“…MCT contains components originating from 3 germ cell layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) with different ratios, which include skin, neural components, teeth, cartilage, respiratory epithelium, and intestinal epithelium [3]. About 7–13 % of MCT cases include intestinal epithelium [4], however, there have been only a few cases of ovarian MCT including complete colon structures [5, 6]. …”
