Explain of Female Genital Pathology

81.Ovarian mature cystic teratoma, gross

The cystic nature of a mature teratoma of ovary is seen here. The most common tissue element of these teratomas is skin, so large amounts of hair and sebum are produced, leading to a challenging cleanup problem in surgical pathology following dissection of these tumors. If these tumors are mostly solid, then they are often "immature" teratomas with less differentiated tissue and are more aggressive. Rarely, there are frankly carcinomatous areas.
