Abstract

Mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) of the ovary comprise tissues from all three germ layers. The coexistence of the complete intestinal tract, prostatic tissue, and bladder component within the same ovarian MCT is unprecedented. Here, we report the diagnosis and management of such a rare case. A 26-year-old woman presented with a right ovarian mass, which was later confirmed as an MCT by histopathological examination. The patient underwent a successful laparoscopic cystectomy with no evidence of malignancy or postoperative complications. Histological examination revealed that this MCT contained the complete organ structures including a lower intestinal tract and male genital tract with prostate, urethra, and bladder components, which is unusual. This case underscores the importance of understanding the pathogenesis of extensive organogenesis in MCTs and raises questions about the differentiation processes leading to such unique presentations.

期刊介绍： Medical Molecular Morphology is an international forum for researchers in both basic and clinical medicine to present and discuss new research on the structural mechanisms and the processes of health and disease at the molecular level. The structures of molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, and organs determine their normal function. Disease is thus best understood in terms of structural changes in these different levels of biological organization, especially in molecules and molecular interactions as well as the cellular localization of chemical components. Medical Molecular Morphology welcomes articles on basic or clinical research in the fields of cell biology, molecular biology, and medical, veterinary, and dental sciences using techniques for structural research such as electron microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, enzyme histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, radioautography, X-ray microanalysis, and in situ hybridization. Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
