Mature teratoma Archives - Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia
Summary
Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia. 2003;25(8):605-608
DOI 10.1590/S0100-72032003000800010
The purely mucinous tumors of the ovary are considered, by some authors, as a monodermic variant of mature teratoma. Few case reports mention the coexistence of these two tumors with distinct cellular origin. Our objective is to describe the case of a 38-year-old patient with a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with low malignant potential arising in a mature cystic teratoma and to divulge the importance of the knowledge about this association to the gynecological surgeon.
