Intracranial teratoma with multiple fetuses: pre- and post-natal appearance.
An intracranial teratoma in which six distinct dysmorphic fetuses were included was studied at autopsy. Karyotopic studies showed a normal chromosomal number in the child and the same karyotype in the three tumoral parts were examined. This is the second tumor of this type reported.
