Classification
- Teratomas may be classified into four subgroups based on the histology features.[1][2][3]
- Mature teratoma which is benign cystic and solid.
- Immature teratoma which is malignant with some embryonic component.
- Malignant teratoma with some somatic malignant neoplasm component.
- Monodermal teratoma.
- Teratomas may also be classified based on the site:[4]
- Intragonadal (ovary and testis).
- Extragonadal (sacrococcygeal, retroperitoneum, mediastinum, and others).
