BACKGROUND
Preoperative diagnosis of immature cystic teratoma can be challenging for clinicians. In this report, we present three cases.
METHODS
We describe three women aged 10, 20, and 23 years, respectively, who presented with abdominal masses which were diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound as mature cystic teratomas. All women had emergency laparotomy and oophorectomy.
RESULTS
Histopathological examination reported these ovarian tumours to be immature cystic teratomas. This case report also provided a brief summary of the clinicopathological features of all ovarian teratomas diagnosed in two centres during the period of review.
CONCLUSION
Immature ovarian teratoma affects primarily younger patients; it is important for clinicians to have a high sense of suspicion whenever the diagnosis of a germ cell tumour is entertained.
背景
未成熟畸胎瘤的术前诊断对临床医生而言可能具有挑战性。在本报告中，我们呈现三例病例。
方法
我们描述了分别为10岁、20岁和23岁的三名女性，她们均因腹部肿块就诊，经腹部超声诊断为成熟囊性畸胎瘤。所有女性均接受了急诊剖腹探查及卵巢切除术。
结果
组织病理学检查报告这些卵巢肿瘤为未成熟囊性畸胎瘤。本病例报告还简要总结了回顾期内在两个中心诊断的所有卵巢畸胎瘤的临床病理特征。
结论
未成熟卵巢畸胎瘤主要影响年轻患者；当考虑诊断生殖细胞肿瘤时，临床医生保持高度怀疑很重要。
