“…To our knowledge, there are only a handful of case reports of uterine cervical teratomas that have been described in the English literature in the past 3 decades. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Of all these uterine cervical teratomas reported, only 3 case reports [3,5,7] were mature cervical teratomas. The first report revealed a mature cervical teratoma with pulmonary differentiation in a 33-year-old women.…”

“…[ 12 ] As for the possible origins of uterine teratoma, it is suggested that uterine cervical teratomas may be originated from residual fetal tissue. [ 8 ] However, a case report proposed that teratomas of the uterus seem to be of a different origin compared with the teratomas of the ovaries. [ 9 ] It was possibly that the uterine teratoma was induced by pluripotential stem cell of uterus or primordial germ cell before meiosis I by using short tandem repeats analysis.…”

“…Though, it is suggested that uterine cervical teratomas may be originated from residual fetal tissue. [8] However, there were different views about the possible origin of uterine cervical teratoma as well. [9] In this report, we described a rare case of mature solid teratoma of the uterine cervix in a 40-year-old patient without implantation of fetal tissue, excluding the possibility of origin from residual fetal tissue.…”

Rationale: Most of the mature teratomas are found in the ovaries. Extragonadal teratomas are extremely rare. To date, there are only a handful of reports of uterine cervical teratomas documented in the English literature. Patient concerns: Herein we describe a rare case of a 40-year-old patient who was presented to our hospital for a cervical polypoid mass, which was finally confirmed to be mature solid teratoma in uterine cervix. Diagnoses: Histological examination of the polypoid mass was found to consist of ciliated pseudostratified columnar respiratory epithelium, intestinal epithelium and smooth muscle tissue, adipose tissue and mature glial component, epidermis, and skin adnexa. Meanwhile, no history of abortion, dilatation, and curettage was present in this patient, so implantation of fetal tissue was excluded. Therefore, we make a diagnosis of uterine cervical mature teratoma. Interventions: Tumorectomy was performed after discovering the cervical polypoid mass. Outcomes: The patient had been followed-up for next 3 months after surgery and no recurrence was documented until now. Lessons: Though teratomas of the uterine cervix are extremely rare, more attention should be paid on this rare but possible tumor for appropriate treatment in these patients.

Background and objectiveUterine teratomas are extremely rare in postmenopausal women and pose significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment. This study reports a case of a 54-year-old postmenopausal woman diagnosed with a uterine teratoma during a routine gynecological ultrasound. The study aims to explore the diagnosis and treatment of uterine teratomas in postmenopausal women through detailed imaging assessment and hysteroscopy surgery, aiming to enhance the understanding of this rare uterine tumor and improve patient treatment outcomes and quality of life.MethodsThis study utilized hysteroscopic surgery to excise a mass initially suspected to be a uterine fibroid and performed pathological analysis. The analysis revealed the presence of fat and hair, confirming the diagnosis of a mature benign uterine teratoma. Additionally, the study includes a literature review summarizing the clinical characteristics, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies for uterine teratomas.ResultsHysteroscopic surgery effectively identified and removed the complex uterine teratoma. Pathological analysis confirmed the teratoma contained various mature tissues, including neural tissue, bone, and cartilage. Comparative analysis of imaging features with surgical outcomes helped propose more precise diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines.ConclusionHysteroscopy surgery plays a crucial role in diagnosing uterine teratomas in postmenopausal women and showcases its advantages of minimal trauma and quick recovery in treatment. In addition, the literature review emphasizes the diagnostic challenges of uterine teratomas in clinical practice, particularly in expanding clinical awareness of the differences between premenopausal and postmenopausal presentations. It also summarizes the diagnostic and treatment strategies for rare uterine masses, contributing to the improved recognition of these rare cases.
