Overview

The histopathology of teratoma depends on the histological subtype.Teratoma is a germ cell tumor due to abnormal development of pluripotent cells and renmant of primitive node.

Immature teratoma
 

Pathogenesis

  • Mature teratoma arises from a pathological transformation of primordial germ cell during the develompment.[1][2]
  • Mature teratoma comes from a single germ cell tumor after first phase of meiosis and failure of meiosis type II.[3][4][5]
  • Mature teratoma contains a well differentiated tumor with all three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm).[2]
  • Mature teratoma may be located in the embryonic fusion midline or paraxial, mediastinum, ovary, retroperitoneum, and sacrococcygeal.[6]
  • Immature teratoma may be due to the malignant tranformation of primitive germ cell layers and renmant of primive node.[7][8]

Genetics

Genes involved in the pathogenesis of teratoma include:[9]

  • Gain of part or all chromosomes
    • 1p
    • 16p
    • 19
    • 22q

Associated conditions

Conditions associated with teratoma include:

Gross and microscopy pathology

The gross and microscopy features of teratoma are described below:[13][14][15][7][16][17][18]

Types Gross pathology Microscopic pathology Images
Mature teratoma
  • Unilateral cystic mass in most cases, rarely solid
  • Predominantly cystic with hair tufts, teeth, and cartilaginous material
  • Unilocular in most cases
  • Capsular compoment is well defined
  • Keratinized squamous cells epithelium
  • Adnexal structures (sebaceous glands, hair follicles)
  • Adipose tissues
  • Lobules of mature cartilage
  • Glands lined by the respiratry mucosa and digestive mucosa
  • Skeletal muscles
Immature teratoma
  • Solid mass with necrotic and hemorrhagic areas
  • Neural tissues with neuroepithelial rosettes
  • Choroid plexus
  • Immature mesenchymal
  • Presence of primtive elements
Monodermal teratoma
