Abstract:
Teratomas are germ cell tumors composed of cells recapitulating the three germ cell layers. Malignant transformation of a teratoma (TMT) is defined as a non-germ cell malignant tumor arising in a preexisting mature teratoma, and it is a rare occurrence. Metastases associated with malignant transformation are even more infrequent, mostly having been reported arising from gonadal teratomas. This report describes a case of a 41 year old female presenting with metastatic adenocarcinoma to the hip as the initial clinical manifestation of malignant transformation of a mediastinal teratoma, along with a review of relevant literature.
