A rare image of a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary exhibiting multiple tissue types, containing epidermis, hair, and TEETH!! 🦷 Ovarian dermoid cyst is a slow-growing teratoma that is composed of elements from multiple germ cell layers and is of a cystic nature that contains an array of developmentally mature, solid tissues. may contain substances such as skin, hair follicles, and sweat glands, while other commonly found components include clumps of long hair, pockets of sebum, blood, fat, bone, nails, teeth, eyes, cartilage, and thyroid tissue.
Teratoma is my favorite tumor....a surprise in every one☺😷
We had a class on ovarian teratomas yesterday..DERMOID CYST is the mature mostly benign type..then there is an immature type which has neural tissue...These are rare but amazing cases
