Why does a teratoma grow back after removal?

Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

The best treatment option for this condition is surgical resection. During the surgery, it is important to remove as much of the cystic content as possible and to excise the cyst wall as much as feasible. However, parts of the cyst wall that are tightly adhered to the spinal cord or nerve roots should not be forcibly removed.
