Experience of Pediatric Teratomas in Uncommon Sites in a Tertiary Centre | Chapter 5 | Current Progress in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 6

 Introduction: In pediatric surgical practice, teratomas in organs and sacrococcygeal areas are somewhat common neoplasms. Teratomas in extragonadal sites are exceptional, with various clinical lineaments and variable organic behavior.Aim: The aim of the study was to comment the prevalence of pediatric teratomas in nonconforming sites, clinical performance, and histological variation.Materials and Methods: This anticipated observational study was completed activity for 5 years from January 2017 to December 2022 in the Department of Pathology in a after second care hospital together with Department of Pediatric Surgery. 119 cases of pediatric teratoma were resolved in the Department of Pathology of which 42 cases were at nonconforming sites. Clinical parameters like past taking and appropriate clinical test, imaging studies and routine investigations were all accomplished according to the proforma. The removed specimens were taken. Sections from various regions of the tumor was endured. The paraffin embedded fabric blocks were subsequently tainted for H&E followed by histopathological newsgathering.Results and Analysis: A total of 119 cases of pediatric teratomas were recorded, of that, 42 cases were teratoma of atypical station. This included, retroperitoneal teratoma (14 cases), sacrococcygeal teratoma (13 cases), stomachic teratoma (3 cases), cervical teratoma (1 case), pulmonary teratoma (1 case), adrenal teratoma (2 cases), floor of the mouth (1 case), organ meat (1 case), kidney (2 cases), abdominal divider (1 case), oral crater (2 cases) and mesentery (1 case). Retroperitoneum and sacrococcyx were the commonest exceptional sites.Conclusion: Meticulous search for the young or malignant component concede possibility be instituted as it helps in healing decisions. Early disease influences clinical conclusion and management, providing a better consequence. Continued follow-up (accompanying alpha-fetoprotein and radiology) to exclude recurrence. More effective antenatal hide, for early diagnosis and management, to lower the risk of malignant conversion, hence better forecast.

Determination of Respiratory Distress in a New Born Due to Nasopharyngeal and Intra Oral Growth – A Rare Case of Nasopharyngeal Benign Teratoma | Chapter 10 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

 Teratomas of the nasopharynx and intraoral are uncommon in neonates, although they are the most prevalent extragonadal germ cell tumour during the perinatal or neonatal period. Naso pharyngeal teratoma is a dangerous disorder that causes breathing difficulties in newborns. In this case, a one-day-old female child was born by normal vaginal birth to a 22-year-old healthy female after an uneventful antenatal period, with intraoral and nasopharyngeal growth extending from the oral cavity, causing severe respiratory distress. The baby was treated right away, and an MRI of the head and neck revealed a nasopharyngeal mass lesion with left intratemporal and left intracranial extension, indicating solid cystic, calcified fat teratoma components. The baby was resuscitated, and the growth was successfully excised, as well as the cleft palate, and the patient was discharged with normal bladder and bowel habits. An intraoral and nasopharyngeal benign teratoma was found in the histopathological analysis material. In this instance, we'll go over the intraoperative and specimen findings, as well as the treatment that was used. Surgical excision is the therapy of choice for adult teratomas because the recurrence rate is reduced once the excision is complete.

A Case Report on Torsion of Dermoid Cyst in a Perimenopausal Woman | Chapter 14 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 17

 The Torsion of a Dermoid Cyst in a Perimenopausal Woman is the subject of this case study. Mature cystic teratomas are responsible for 20% to 30% of all ovarian tumours. Patients between the ages of 20 and 40 are the most likely to develop them, and they are usually asymptomatic. Cancer is more common in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal groups. The authors describe a case of dermoid cyst torsion in a 45-year-old perimenopausal woman who presented with acute stomach pain. A 45-year-old perimenopausal woman complained of a lower stomach ache that lasted 8 hours and 3-4 episodes of vomiting. Palpation of an abdomino-pelvic mass comparable to the size of a 28-week-pregnant uterus revealed a regular, firm to cystic, painful mass. On abdominal ultrasonography, a right ovarian cyst measuring 12.9x12.8x10.1 cm was detected. A complete abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo oopherectomy were performed. A developed cystic teratoma was discovered during a histological examination. Although mature cystic teratomas are uncommon beyond 40 years of age, particularly in perimenopausal women, and are frequently malignant in that age range, they might present at an unusually young age of 45 years and be benign, as in this case.

Dermoid Cyst with Its Closest Differential Diagnosis in Perimenopaual Women | Chapter 11 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 7

 In underdeveloped nations like India, large abdomino-pelvic masses that present to the gynaecology outpatient department are fairly common. As a result, understanding the differential diagnosis of such masses, such as dermoid cysts, sero-mucinous cystadenoma, and leiomyoma, is critical. Germ cell tumours account for about 25-30% of all ovarian tumours, with 95 percent of these being benign. Approximately 10% to 20% of these tumours are benign cystic teratomas (Dermoid cyst).
