Case Study of a Post Chemotherapy Induced Mature Ovarian.
Baqai J Health Sci Dec ;12(1):55-6.
We report a case of grade 3 immature teratoma after its chemotherapy induced maturation to benign teratoma. The tissue in this case was that of metastatic implants post¬chemotherapy and contained only mature, benign elements. The tumor in this mature teratoma was found to have monosomics in eleven chromosomes and trisomics in four. These abnormalities in a mature post-chemotherapy teratoma may be of significance in pointing out which tumors have the potential to revert to malignancy.
