[Immature solid teratoma of the uterine cervix (author's transl)]

A 27-year-old woman with an inconspicuous anamnesis developed within two years a solid tumor of about 10/5 cm in size, and extending from the left corner of the external os up to the lumen of the vagina and consisting of partly immature ectodermic, mesodermic and endodermic parts. After the radical removal of the tumor by means of abdominal hysterectomy and left-sided adnexectomy no signs of a recurrence could be observed for about ten years. Except a shortly described case of teratoma of the endometrium no further case of a uterine teratoma has been mentioned in the literature so far. A brief discussion of differential diagnosis and etiology is also present.
