Immature teratoma with gliomatosis peritonei associated with pregnancy.
Immature teratoma, which contains variable quantities of immature tissues that resemble those of the embryo, is one of the primitive germ cell tumors. It occurs most frequently in young women but it is rarely reported in association with pregnancy. We report a case of immature teratoma associated with pregnancy exhibiting unique MR findings with pathologic correlation.
