A case of fetal malformation (teratodoa sacrococcygeal region)

Abstract

Teratomas are tumors that contain different tissues and even different organs at different stages of development. These tumors sometimes consist of more or less cavities - cysts, sometimes they are solid. The tissues that make up the teratoma, taking the same part in its formation, can be derivatives of one, two or all three germ layers. The products of the development of these sheets in teratomas, in contrast to dermoids, are intermixed extremely randomly, and sometimes the excessive growth of one tissue makes the rest hardly noticeable.
