Ovarian Mature Cystic Teratoma Containing Homunculus: A Case Report

We report a partial fetus-like structure (homunculus) in benign ovarian mature cystic teratoma removed from a 23-yr-old female. The cyst displayed various tissues derived from the three germ layers. The homunculus had a distinguished fetal cranial structure with one upper extremity. A partially developed osteocartilagenous skeleton was identified in the cranial structure of the homunculus. Intracranial structures such as cerebral cortex, retinal pigment, and leptomeninges were extruded from the partially disrupted calvarium.

A Case of Multifocal Concurrent Adenocarcinoma / 대한산부인과학회잡지

Synchronous primary tumor is uncommon form of gynecologic malignancy. Synchronous tumor is defined as primary tumor diagnosed simultaneously or within 6 months of one another. The prognosis of the patients with synchronous malignancies was reported to be more favorable when compared to the survival of patients harboring the same neoplasms individually. We report a case of multifocal concurrent adenocarcinoma involving salpinx, ovary, uterine cervix, and endometrium as well as omentum with a brief review of literatures.
