  • Title: Recurrence of immature ovarian teratoma as malignant follicular carcinoma with liver and peritoneal metastasis 22 years after completion of initial treatment.
    Author: Shannon NB, Chan NHL, Teo MCC.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2017 Oct 24; 2017():. PubMed ID: 29066646.
    Abstract:
    Growing tumour syndrome (GTS) is a rare event in which germ cell tumours treated with chemotherapy undergo maturation, acquire resistance to chemotherapy and regrow. The optimum treatment strategy is complete surgical excision. We report on a case of GTS with malignant metastases to the liver presenting 22 years after completion of treatment for immature teratoma, successfully managed with surgical resection alone.
