J Comput Assist Tomogr. 2023 Nov-Dec;47(6):882-889. doi: 10.1097/RCT.0000000000001509. Epub 2023 Jul 14.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the imaging findings along with histopathologic correlation of mature (benign) teratomas and malignant ovarian teratomas, which include both immature teratomas and malignant degeneration of mature teratomas. The radiologist's ability to provide an accurate diagnosis plays an essential role in guiding the interdisciplinary care of patients with malignant teratomas and improving their outcomes.
