PEREZ GORDILLO, Fernando y SIERRA, Laura. Growing Teratoma Syndrome. A Case Report. Rev. Fac. Med. (Méx.) [online]. 2022, vol.65, n.3, pp.33-37. Epub 01-Ago-2022. ISSN 2448-4865. https://doi.org/10.22201/fm.24484865e.2022.65.3.06.
Growing teratoma syndrome is an entity in which there are histological modifications of an immature malignant teratoma treated with chemotherapy and with negative tumor markers to a mature teratoma. Given the low incidence of the pathology, a case of a patient with a history of ovarian tumors with report of immature teratoma which was extracted is reported. The patient received chemotherapy with normalization of serum markers. Subsequently she presented a pelvic, retroperitoneal and hepatic tumor that again required surgical intervention with pathological report of mature cystic teratoma.
