Abstract
- Testicular teratomas are germ cell neoplasms that consist of tissue derived from ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm in various stages of maturation. The teratomas are subclassified into mature teratoma, immature teratoma, and malignant teratoma. depending on the appearance and maturity of the various components. Prognosis is directly related to maturity of the tissue. Recently we experienced two cases of testicular teratoma, so we report these two cases of testicular teratoma with review of literature.
