Overview
Surgical intervention is the mainstay of treatment for teratoma.
Surgical Options
- Surgical intervention is the mainstay of treatment for teratoma.[1]
[2] Teratomas normally are well encapsulated and non-invasive of surrounding tissues, hence they are relatively easy to resect from surrounding tissues. Exceptions include teratomas in the brain, and very large, complex teratomas that have pushed into and become interlaced with adjacent muscles and other structures.
Prevention of recurrence does not require en bloc resection of surrounding tissues.
