RESUMEN
El síndrome de teratoma creciente (STC) es una entidad histopatológica rara y está definida por la aparición de un teratoma maduro durante o después de la quimioterapia de un tumor maligno de células germinales no seminomatoso. Hasta la fecha han sido pocos los casos presentados en la literatura mundial. Por la baja incidencia de esta patología, presentamos el caso de una paciente joven con un teratoma inmaduro de ovario tratada con cirugía y quimioterapia, quien desarrolló posteriormente una masa pélvica con resultado histológico de teratoma maduro. El reconocimiento de esta patología es importante para evitar confusiones con el desarrollo de tumores malignos.
ABSTRACT
Growing teratoma syndrome is a rare histopathologic entity, defined by an enlarged mass of mature teratoma which appears during or after chemotherapy of a malignant nonseminomatous germ cell tumor. Few reported cases in world literature have been reported until today, due to the low incidence of this pathology. We report one patient in our hospital with immature teratoma. This patient was treated with surgical resection and chemotherapy. She had a pelvic mass and histology revealed a mature teratoma. It is important to recognize this pathology in order to avoid confusion with a developing malignancy.
