“…The mature type or benign is formed of well-differentiated tissue, the immature is derived from somatic embryo cell differentiation, whereas the malignant is characterized by the presence of one or more components malignant germ cell tumors (ISAACS, 1985;TEWARI, 2000). Hence in the present case the histopathological analysis showed adnexal structures of the skin: like hair, sebaceous gland, apocrine areas with cartilaginous tissue (Figures 3 and 4), and most cysts were lined by stratified squamous epithelium, histological features that allow the diagnosis of mature teratoma ( VALE et al 1984;LEFEBVRE et al, 2005).…”
