Extragonadal, mature, solid teratoma with omental implants. A case report.
A well-encapsulated paracervical teratoma was resected. It consisted entirely of histologically mature elements, including thyroid tissue. The greater omentum was found to contain a metastatic implant of mature thyroid tissue. This case illustrates the natural history of teratomas.
