Mature Placental Teratoma: Case Report ()
Abstract
Placental teratoma is a very
rare tumor. The tumor we present that lay between amnion and chorion contained disorganized
skin and its appendages, bone, cartilage, and fat. There was no evidence of
recognizable umblical cord. Our diagnosis was “mature teratoma of the
placenta”. The distinction between teratoma and fetus acardius amorphus, besides
the possible origin of a tumor in this site, is discussed with a
brief of literature.
