The evolution of malignant testicular tumor to mature teratoma has been studied in 4 patients. Computed tomography has been helpful in early diagnosis of this biologic phenomenon in these patients receiving intensive chemotherapy for disseminated non-seminomatous testicular cancer. Although the potential significance of this conversion in terms of survival is not known its early recognition by computed tomography has been useful in selecting and monitoring the therapy of these patients.
对4例恶性睾丸肿瘤向成熟畸胎瘤演变的情况进行了研究。计算机断层扫描有助于在这些接受强化化疗以治疗播散性非精原细胞瘤性睾丸癌的患者中早期诊断这种生物学现象。虽然这种转变对生存的潜在意义尚不清楚，但通过计算机断层扫描早期识别它有助于选择和监测这些患者的治疗。
