The girl, you are not fat, is a teratoma monster! A 24-year-old girl in Yueqing is suffering from ovarian tumor, the removed tumor has hair, sebum and other human tissues It is reported that junior and senior high school girls are at high risk, the following abdominal abnormal “fat” or abdominal pain from time to time after activity should be careful. Recently, 24-year-old Yueqing girl Xiao Zhu felt some fat, belly big a circle. After a car ride, she found a burst of pain in the left side of the stomach, ate painkillers on a little better. This continued for about a week, the pain increased. It was only after a checkup that she realized she was not fattened, but had an ovarian teratoma. The tumor contains human tissues such as hair and sebum Xiao Zhu was diagnosed and underwent surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wen Medical. “Ultrasound examination revealed that the patient had a 9-10 cm mass on the left and right side of the ovary. After surgical removal, the tumor on the left was about 15 cm in diameter, with some black and purple color. The tumor on the right was also eight or nine centimeters in diameter.” The two tumors were cut open and there was a mass of well-developed hair and some sebum and other human tissue inside. It is said that teratomas are usually covered by membranes and contain human tissues such as hair, sebum, bones, brain tissue, cartilage or teeth, etc. A few teratomas can also be seen in muscles, gastrointestines, thyroid, eyes and other organ structures. In addition to the ovaries, teratomas can also occur in the midline and on both sides of the body, and even in the placenta and umbilical cord of the fetus. To date, the cause of the disease is not known. It is only known that it originates from the primitive germ cells of the ovary, because germ cells originate from endodermal tissues other than the gonads and have the function of developing into a variety of tissues, and during their differentiation and development if they mutate they form a tumor, and if they differentiate towards embryonic structures they form a teratoma. Some experts believe that this process is similar to the embryonic development of “unisexual reproduction” in which the egg is not fertilized. It has been suggested on the Internet that the formation of ovarian teratomas is due to the fact that the mother was pregnant with twins and that one of them did not develop fully, so it parasitized a part of the other embryo and continued to develop by feeding on the host. However, doctors deny this claim, and teratomas are tumors, not pregnancy-related freak occurrences. It is also possible for girls aged eight or nine to suffer from this disease According to the report, the ovarian teratoma suffered by Xiao Zhu, the incidence of which accounts for about 20% to 40% of ovarian tumors, mainly occurs in young women of childbearing age between 20 and 30 years old, and junior and senior high school girls are the high-risk group. ”Ovarian teratoma can occur in women of any age. The youngest of the patients I see is eight or nine years old.” Last summer, Dr. Zhou Kai said, the young girl had persistent pain in her stomach. At first, in another hospital, she was treated as appendicitis, but it did not work. The first one is the one with the largest teratoma with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters, and the patient is a 15-year-old junior high school student. But fortunately, the benign rate of this tumor is relatively high, “95% to 98% are benign mature teratoma, only 2% to 5% are malignant teratoma, however, the younger the patient is the greater the chance of malignant tumor.” The patient Xiao Zhu, like the one mentioned in the article, has been discharged from the hospital after a week of surgical treatment.
