  • Title: Gastric teratoma in a 6-month-old boy.
    Author: Wildbrett P, Einsiedel HG, Lange B, Lode H, Barthlen W.
    Journal: Afr J Paediatr Surg; 2012; 9(1):71-3. PubMed ID: 22382110.
    Abstract:
    Gastric teratomas are very rare embryonal neoplasms, accounting for 2.6% of all perinatal diagnosed germ cell tumours. About 85% are well-differentiated mature lesions and about 15% are immature tumours with the potential of malignant transformation. The recommended therapy for gastric teratomas is surgical excision. We present the case of a 6-month-old boy with an incidentally detected epigastric mass. The histological examination revealed a mature gastric teratoma. The diagnostic imaging, therapy and postoperative follow-up are discussed.
