Abstract
|
|
|
A 24-year-old female was found to have a malignant immature teratoma of the ovary 4 years ago. Treatment involves surgical resection followed by chemotherapy. 4 years later, bulky low abdominal mass was detected and treated with multiple-agent
chemotherapy resulting in transformation or evolution into a mature teratoma form of disease. Usually retroconversion presents during the first year of diagnosis. We report a case of retroconversion of immature teratoma into mature teratoma 4
years
following chemotherapy for grade II immature ovarian teratoma. This benign tumor unusually invaded the abdominal wall, bladder muscle, rectal muscle, and diaphragmatic muscle. The CT scan, MRI appearance, incidence, and biological significance of
this
phenomena are discussed.
