Malignant transformation in mature cystic teratoma of the ovary: report of five cases and review of the literature
Arch Gynecol Obstet.
2007 Mar.
Abstract
The incidence of malignant transformation in mature cystic teratoma (MCT) of the ovary is less than 2% as reported in gynaecological and pathological literature. Here we present a series of five patients, who developed malignant transformation in MCT of the ovary, over a 6-year period (1999-2004). The morphological and clinico-pathological features of malignant transformation in MCT of the ovary are discussed.
