Patient's question:
On December 20, 2014, it was discovered during a hospital examination for pregnancy at 14 weeks.Doctor's answer:
Teratomas are generally of medium size and mostly unilateral, with 12% being bilateral. They appear round or oval and are encapsulated by a smooth membrane. The cyst wall is tough and mostly unilocular. The most common contents in the cyst cavity are hair clumps and fat, and teeth and bone fragments are also frequently present. These tissues are well-differentiated, so most of the tumors are benign, with approximately 2% developing malignancy. Surgical treatment is recommended in a timely manner.
