7. “Left ovarian cyst”
• Cystic structure measuring 9 x 7 x 5cm.
• Cyst is multicolulated and gritty
• Has smooth, tan brown external surface with visible
vascularities.
• Filled with sebum material admixed with hair
structures
• Noted to have 3 teeth-like structures measuring 0.9 x
0.5 x 0.1cm
8. “Right adnexa”
• PS cystic structure measuring 7 x 7.5 x 3cm
• Rough, brown to dark brown external surface
• Multiloculated cyst partly filled with sebum and hair
• Attached R fallopian tube– 8 x 1 cm and has slit-like
lumen
• 0.5 cm paratubal cyst
18. MATURE CYSTIC
TERATOMA
IMMATURE TERATOMA
Young women
(Most Common ovarian tumor in
childhood)
Age Predilection prepubertal adolescents and
young women
mean age:18 years
• unilocular cysts with hair and
• sebaceous material
• Section: thin wall lined by an opaque,
gray-white, wrinkled epidermis,
frequently with protruding hair
shafts.
• common to find grossly evident tooth
structures and areas of calcification
Gross • Bulky; have a smooth external surface
• tend to be solid on sectioning.
• Hair, sebaceous material, cartilage,
bone, and calcification may be present,
along with areas of necrosis and
hemorrhage.
19. MATURE CYSTIC
TERATOMA
IMMATURE TERATOMA
• cyst wall-composed of SSE with
underlying sebaceous glands, hair
shafts, and other skin adnexal tissues
• Tissues from other germ layers can be
identified: cartilage, bone, thyroid,
and neural tissue.
Microscopic
Findings
• varying amounts of immature
neuroepithelium, cartilage, bone,
muscle, and other elements
BENIGN Malignancy MALIGNANT
Surgery Management surgery plus
multidrug chemotherapy
20. Grading for Immature teratoma
• Grade I Abundance of mature tissues, intermixed with loose
mesenchymal tissue with occasional mitoses; immature
cartilage; tooth anlage
• Grade II Fewer mature tissues; rare foci of neuroepithelium
with common mitoses, not exceeding three low-magnification
(×40) fields in any one slide
• Grade III Few or no mature tissues; numerous neuroepithelial
elements, merging with a cellular stroma occupying four or
more low-magnification fields.
21.
22. • Arise from a single germ cell
• may contain any of the three germ cell layers-
ectoderm , mesoderm or endoderm
• 3 categories
• Mature teratoma- most common
• Immature teratoma
• Monodermal
OVARIAN TERATOMAS
23.
24. 1. Mature Cystic Teratoma- develops
into a cyst, also called benign cystic
teratoma or dermoid cyst
2. Mature Solid teratoma- elements
formed into a solid mass
3. Fetiform teratoma- doll shape, as
the germ cell layers display
considerable normal spatial
differentiation
3 Types of Benign Cystic Teratoma
25. • almost 20% of all ovarian neoplasms
• most common ovarian tumor in childhood
• 80-88% of cases are unilateral.
• occasionally accompanied with hemolytic anemia or
virilization
• grossly: always usually multiloculated (Rosai)
• cystic content: greasy, largely composed of keratin, sebum and
hairs.
Mature Cystic Teratoma
26. • -teeth are often present and tend
to be located in a well-defined
nipple-like structure covered with
hair (Rokitansky's
protuberance)--exhibits the
greatest variety of tissue types-
should be selected for microscopic
examination
• Other common tissue types:
cartilage respiratory tissue, GI
tissue
Mature Cystic Teratoma
Normal Ovarian stroma
CT consisting of spindle shaped stroma cells
Also contains Reticular fibers and collagen
Tissue appears whorled bec of high number of cells
Grading for Immature teratoma
Grade I Abundance of mature tissues, intermixed with loose mesenchymal tissue with occasional mitoses; immature cartilage; tooth anlage
Grade II Fewer mature tissues; rare foci of neuroepithelium with common mitoses, not exceeding three low-magnification
(×40) fields in any one slide
Grade III Few or no mature tissues; numerous neuroepithelial elements, merging with a cellular stroma occupying four
or more low-magnification fields.
