“…Teratoma of the fallopian tube is rare and the histogenesis is uncertain 1. Theories include misplaced primordial germ cells or residual fetal tissue from ectopic pregnancy 2. There was no history of ectopic pregnancy in this case.…”

A 52-year-old woman with a background of vaginal hysterectomy for heavy menstrual bleeding underwent an elective laparoscopic adhesiolysis, left salpingo-oophorectomy for left-sided pelvic pain, and a right salpingectomy. Despite a grossly normal appearance, histology revealed a rare presentation of mature teratoma with insular carcinoid tumour arising from the left fallopian tube. Even though the salpingectomy was thought to be curative, the patient underwent a second operation to remove her remaining right ovary as a precaution against malignant spread. In light of limited information in such rare cases, counselling on best management and discussion of risks to guide patient decision making remains challenging.

“…Most ovarian germ cell tumors are diagnosed by ultrasound examination, however, in none of the previous reports of uterine teratomas a correct preoperative diagnosis made, probably due to the rarity of these tumors and lack of radiologic-specific parameters (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). They are usually misdiagnosed as uterine or cervical polyps.…”

“…Uncommonly, these tumors can also arise in the mediastinum, retroperitoneum, central nervous system (including pineal gland), and in other anatomic sites. Some exceedingly rare cases of uterine teratomas have been reported (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11), from a variety of age range such as from 15 to 82 yr (12).…”

Teratomas are tumors of germ cell origin, and in the female genital tract are subclassified as immature or mature based on the presence or absence, respectively, of immature elements. Somatic tumors may also develop in association with teratomas, and most commonly include thyroid tumors, carcinoids and carcinomas. We report herein 2 rare forms of gynecologic teratomas: 1 case of immature teratoma of the uterus and 1 case of a benign follicular hamartoma arising in association with mature cystic teratoma of the ovary.

“…Teratomas usually arise in the gonads, while extragonadal teratomas are very rare and account for 2–5% of germ cell tumors 3 . Primary teratomas of the uterus have rarely been reported since 1929 4–7 . Here, the case of an 11‐year‐old patient who had an immature teratoma in her uterus and a mature teratoma in her ovary is presented.…”

Immature teratoma arising from uterine corpus in an 11‐year‐old girl: Case report and review of the literature

Teratomas are one of the most common germ cell tumors, and they usually occur in ovaries. Extragonadal teratomas are rare, especially immature ones. Only several cases of primary teratomas of the uterus have been reported since 1929. Here, the case of an 11‐year‐old patient who had a 6‐month history of sustained abnormal vaginal discharge is presented. Transabdominal ultrasonography revealed a solid mass in her uterus, resulting in the patient undergoing surgery. Examination of PET‐CT scans revealed a mass in the right ovary of the patient 20 days after surgery. The patient underwent a second surgery followed by chemotherapy. This is the youngest case among reported patients of primary immature uterine teratoma, and this patient showed no evidence of recurrence during 2 years of follow‐up.
