Overview
Classification
- Teratomas are classifiable based on different general characteristics and site of origin.[1][2]
- Sacrococcygeal teratoma
- Mediastinal teratoma
- Ovarian teratoma
- Historically teratomas were classified as :
- mature
- immature
- In adults teratomas likely demonstrate malignant inclination and behavior. In Children, different tumors from various origins are reported, while predominantly we may see sacrococcygeal tumors.
- We can also classify teratomas to benign and malignant tumors. The malignant types are named teratocarcinomas.
