Is teratoma born

summary

Teratoma is a tumor disease caused by germ cell disease. It can be divided into benign and malignant, and the high incidence group is female or newborn, children. Teratoma generally does not need surgery, if the tumor is large, it needs surgical treatment. How does it form? Let's talk about whether teratoma is born.

Is teratoma born

The first is teratoma, which is rare. The incidence rate is not high. It is scattered in various specialties. The teratoma seen in the Department of general surgery is mainly located in the sacrococcygeal and retroperitoneal, and is benign. Teratoma can occur in ovary, testis, retroperitoneum, anterior mediastinum, sacrococcygeal, skull base, etc. Sacrococcygeal teratomas can be seen in newborns, retroperitoneal teratomas can be seen in newborns, some were found during development, a few were found after malignant transformation.

Second, totipotent cells derived from gonads or embryo remnants contain more than two germ layers of various tissue components, and their arrangement is disordered. According to the appearance, it can be divided into cystic and solid; according to the degree of tissue differentiation and maturity, it can be divided into dermoid cyst (also known as mature teratoma or benign teratoma) and immature teratoma. Teratoma often occurs in ovary and testis, occasionally in mediastinum, sacrococcygeal, peritoneum, pineal gland and other parts. The solid is malignant.

Third: teratoma is congenital, teratoma is a kind of tumor in some organs of the human body, and teratoma is due to the fetus in the process of maternal development in contact with some teratogenic factors leading to fetal malformation, the two are completely different diseases. Teratomas are tumors derived from pluripotent germ cells. After birth, these residual pluripotent germ cells can grow and develop into a tumor in the corresponding part.

matters needing attention

Teratoma is congenital. This disease is very rare, and few cases develop into malignant tumors. If the newborn with congenital teratoma must be treated in time, it will develop into a serious malignant tumor.
