A. Brief Descriptions:
略.
Definition:
Teratoma: true neoplasm derived from totipotential cells and composed of a variety of parenchymal cell types representative of more than one germ layer, usually all three.
Mature teratoma: teratoma composed of mature elements indistinguishable with normal tissue; benign and cystic.
B. Gross Findings:
Uniloculated or multiloculated cystic cavities filled with fatty or sebaceous material and hair → ”dermoid cyst”.
