ABSTRACT

Growing teratoma syndrome is an entity in which there are histological modifications of an immature malignant teratoma treated with chemotherapy and with negative tumor markers to a mature teratoma. Given the low incidence of the pathology, a case of a patient with a history of ovarian tumors with report of immature teratoma which was extracted is reported. The patient received chemotherapy with normalization of serum markers. Subsequently she presented a pelvic, retroperitoneal and hepatic tumor that again required surgical intervention with pathological report of mature cystic teratoma.
