Teratoma is a common tumour of the mediastinum but is rarely found in the lung. The twentieth reported case was published in 1975 by Day and Taylor and four cases have been published since.'-5 A rare condition, not previously recorded, was observed by us in a young male patient. He was found to have a mediastinal teratoma, which was followed 10 years later by the growth of an intrapulmonary ter...

Primary retroperitoneal teratoma is a rare entity in adults. It has a distinctive imaging appearance. We describe the case of a 26-year-old man who was referred to our hospital due to an abdominal tumor. Serial work-up disclosed a teratoma at the retroperitoneum. Laparotomy with tumor resection was performed. Pathological examination revealed a mature cystic teratoma. The postoperative course w...

The presence of floating fat balls or globules in an ovarian cystic teratoma is an unusual finding. Herein, we present ultrasonographic and tomographic findings of a rarely reported case of cystic teratoma with a floating fat ball.

Teratomas are congenital tumours that contain derivatives of all three germ layers. Teratomas have been reported to occur in various sites and organs. Retrovesical teratoma is a very rare extragonadal tumour, especially in adults, moreover in male patients. Grading and classification of teratoma is important for management and prognosis. We report a case of mature (benign) cystic retrovesical t...

teratomas that occur in the uterus are exceedingly rare. to the best of our knowledge there are only 22 cases of mature and immature teratomas of the uterus and cervix thus far reported in the literature. we report an unusual case of mature cystic teratoma of the uterine surface with well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the endometrium and uterine leiomyoma along with a mature cystic teratoma ...

Intracranial teratomas are rare. We report a case of a purely monodermal teratoma manifesting as intracranial growing teratoma syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such nature in the literature.

Background: Immature teratomas of the ovary represent less than 1% of all ovarian teratomas. Growing teratoma syndrome is an increase of tumor size containing a mature teratoma component, during or after chemotherapy for

Rhabdomyosarcoma arising in teratoma of the testis is an exceptionally rare occurrence. The rhabdomyosarcomatous element infers a less favourable prognosis and standard treatment regimes well recognised for the treatment of teratoma of the testis may not be effective.

Intrathoracic teratoma usually occurs in the mediastinum but rarely, these may originate from the lung. We report a case of an intrapulmonary teratoma in a 34-year-old male.
