Patient's question:
My sister said that her brother-in-law is now pregnant, but he has a tumor. It's so scary. I don't know if this tumor is interfering with the baby in his stomach. I want to ask what kind of help is needed: What causes the tumor?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, is it a teratoma? Teratoma is a common type of germ cell tumor in ovaries, originating from germ cells, and is divided into mature teratomas (also known as benign teratomas) and immature teratomas (malignant teratomas). Benign teratomas contain many different components, including skin, hair, teeth, bones, fat, nerve tissue, etc.; malignant teratomas have poor division, few or poorly formed structures, and unclear organization. Early teratomas often show no obvious clinical symptoms, and most are discovered incidentally during health checks. The cause of the disease may be due to abnormal division of germ cells during the embryonic period.
