Several major hazards of teratoma

Teratoma is one of the most common tumors of the ovary. It is a very special cyst. Teratoma brings a lot of trouble to the lives of female friends. Generally, teratoma will not affect pregnancy. Then the editor will give a detailed introduction to the major hazards of teratoma to female friends.

1. Teratoma originates from dormant multifunctional primitive embryonic cells. It is a tumor originating from germ cells. More than 90% of them come from empty eggs fertilized by sperm from a single unit, and then replicate themselves without cytoplasmic movement. The site of occurrence is related to the midline anterior axis or midline paracentral area of ​​the embryological body cavity, and is often seen in the sacral and coccygeal region, mediastinum, retroperitoneum, and gonadal region. It is more common in newborns and infants, and more common in women.

2. Generally, teratoma will not affect pregnancy, but since the nature of the tumor cannot be determined, surgical treatment is recommended as long as two consecutive B-ultrasounds (preferably once before and after menstruation) indicate that there is a mixed mass in the adnexal area. In this case, it will have some impact on pregnancy. Finally, whether the teratoma is benign can only be determined by pathological examination after removal.

3. It may rupture and cause infection. If it exists for a long time, it is very likely to become malignant. If the growth rate is too fast and the original elasticity is lost, exophytic tumors may show superficial vein distension and congestion, local skin infiltration and increased skin temperature; systemic symptoms such as weight loss, anemia, tumor fever; and compression of other organs.
