IMMATURE OVARIAN TERATOMA ASSOCIATED WITH GLIOMATOSIS PERITONEI AND LYMPH NODE METASTASIS: A RARE CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Bhuyan Geet, Zaheer Sufian

Abstract


Immature teratomas are rare tumours occurring mainly in children and young adults. We report our experience with a 34 year old lady with immature teratoma with multiple glial implants in omentum, gliomatosis peritonei and pelvic lymph node. Immature teratoma has to be differentiated from a mature teratoma which is based on the presence of immature neuroepithelium. Gliomatosis peritonei is an interesting condition in which immature and mature teratomas become associated with a myriad of peritoneal nodular or miliary implants composed of mature glia. It is important to grade any peritoneal or lymphnode deposit which may adversely affect the overall stage of the tumour. In this case report we have briefly discussed the various aspects of this tumour. A total of nine cases with glial tissue in lymph node i.e nodal gliomatosis have been published previously with or without in association with GP.
