Περίληψη:

Teratomas are a subtype of germ cell tumors composed of a variety of somatic tissues derived from more than one of the three germinal layers (ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm). They can be classified as mature tumors and immature tumors. Teratomas most commonly arise at the sacrococcygeal region and the gonads. The occurrence of a teratoma outside the common gonadal and midline locations is exceptional. This review article lists the reported primary and metastatic malignant teratomas in extragonadal locations and discusses the possible explanation for the atypical location, their treatment and prognosis. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature.
