Abstract:
A rare case of extragonadal teratoma which occurred primarily in the uterus is described. The tumor developed in the uterine cervix to form a polypoid appearance, and consisted of ectodermal, mesodermal and endodermal derivatives. This is the 14th such tumor to be recorded in world literature. A review of the literature and its possible histogenesis are briefly described.
