Ovarian mature teratoma

Ovarian mature teratomas are part of the family of ovarian teratomas. They originate from germ cells with totipotent differentiation function. Their components include ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm structures. Ovarian mature teratoma can be divided into mature mature teratoma and cystic teratoma. The former is very rare. The surface of the tumor is smooth, and the cut surface is solid. There may be honeycomb sacs. The three germ layer-derived tissues in the tumor are all mature. The latter is the most common benign tumor of the ovary, so it is also called benign cystic teratoma or dermoidcyst.
