Overview
The histopathology of teratoma depends on the histological subtype.Teratoma is a germ cell tumor due to abnormal development of pluripotent cells.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- Mature teratoma arises from a pathological transformation of primordial germ cell during the develompment.
- Mature teratoma comes from a single germ cell tumor after first phase of meiosis.[1]
- Mature teratoma contains a well differentiated tumor with all three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm).
