Asia Oceania J Obstet Gynaecol. 1990 Dec;16(4):363-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1447-0756.1990.tb00362.x.

Abstract

A rare case of extragonadal teratoma which occurred primarily in the uterus is described. The tumor developed in the uterine cervix to form a polypoid appearance, and consisted of ectodermal, mesodermal and endodermal derivatives. This is the 14th such tumor to be recorded in world literature. A review of the literature and its possible histogenesis are briefly described.
