Intestinal Adenocarcinoma Arising from a Mature Cystic Teratoma
Mature cystic teratomas are the most common ovarian germ cell tumour and account for 10–20% of all ovarian neoplasms. Malignant transformation of mature cystic teratomas is rare and has an incidence rate of less than 1%. The most common malignancy are squamous cell carcinomas. Here we present the ca...

| description | Mature cystic teratomas are the most common ovarian germ cell tumour and account for 10–20% of all ovarian neoplasms. Malignant transformation of mature cystic teratomas is rare and has an incidence rate of less than 1%. The most common malignancy are squamous cell carcinomas. Here we present the case of an intestinal adenocarcinoma which is an exceedingly rare malignant entity arising within a mature cystic teratoma. Clinical presentation, imaging and histopathological diagnosis are discussed and previously presented cases in the literature reviewed. |
