A tumor, sometimes found in newborn children, which is made up of a heterigenous mixture of tissues, as of bone, cartilage and muscle.
Tumor or growth made up of several different types of tissue (fat, bone, muscle, skin).
non-malignant tumor consisting of diffferent types of tissue caused by the growth of embryonic stem cells at an abnormal site in the body
tumor that develops spontaneously in germ cells of the ovary or testis, comprised of a disorganized mass of cells representing a bizarre mixture of differentiated and undifferentiated tissue.
Tumor made up of several types of different tissue, none of which is native to the area in which it occurs. Most often found in ovaries and testes.
(Greek, teraton = monster) tumours arising from more than one germ layer. Term first used by Virchow in 1863.
a tumor consisting of a mixture of tissues not normally found at that site
a germ cell tumor containing elements from the three germinal layers
a germ cell tumor that shows differentiation toward embryonic tissues
a neoplasm (tumor) composed of multiple tissues, including tissues not normally found in the organ in which it arises
a new growth (neoplasm) of tissue that's not normally found in the area in which it's located
a solid mass of several embryonic tissues including bone, skin, hair and teeth
a type of tumor that can grow random bits of hair and teeth, as well as nerve, fat, and respiratory tissue
a type of tumour that derives from germ cells
A tumor consisting of different types of tissue, as of skin, hair, and muscle, caused by the development of independent germ cells. (SMD)
A non-malignant tumor in an animal consisting of different types of differentiated cells caused by the growth and differentiation of injected embryonic stem cells.
a tumour composed of cells not normally found in the part of the body when the tumour occurred
A tumor composed of cells not normally found in the part of the body when the tumor occurred .
A non-cancerous tumor made of cells from the three embryonic germ layers. Teratomas can be created in animals by injecting them with stem cells that have not started to develop into a more specialized cell.
A tumor composed of tissues from the three embryonic germ layers. Usually found in ovary and testis. Produced experimentally in animals by injectingpluripotent stem cells, in order to determine the stem cells' abilities to differentiate into various types of tissues.
Ovarian tumor characterized by the formation of cysts as well as a bizarre combination of different embryonic tissues such as bone, cartilage, teeth, and hair.
a tumor composed of an unorganized collection of different tissues.
(ter-a-TOW-ma) A type of germ cell tumor that may contain several different types of tissue, such as hair, muscle, and bone. Teratomas occur most often in the ovaries in women, the testicles in men, and the tailbone in children. Not all teratomas are malignant.
A tumor compound of various tissues not normally found together at the site or origin.
A tumor composed of multiple tissues including tissues not normally found in organ in which it arises. Neoplasms frequently occur in ovary and testis. Produced experimentally in animals by injecting pluripotent stem cells, in order to determine the stem cells' abilities to differentiate into various types of tissues.
A teratoma is a type of neoplasm (specifically, a tumor). The word teratoma comes from Greek and means roughly monstrous tumor. Definitive diagnosis of a teratoma is based on its histology: a teratoma is a tumor with tissue or organ components resembling normal derivatives of all three germ layers.
