title: [Ovarian teratomas as the cause of diseases of the nervous, endocrine and haematology system].
abstract: Teratomas are the most common tumors of the ovary occurring in girls and young women. Derived from primordial germ cell and embryonic gonads have the ability to differentiate into the three germ layers. In about 95% of cases are benign, and their most common form is a dermoid cyst of the ovary. This paper aims to present the relationship described tumors of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, anti-NMDA-dependent autoimmune inflammation of the brain and thyroid disease. It reminds us that teratomas are not always insulated disease entities and may have a significant impact on the course of coexisting diseases and their treatment.
