Sacrococcygeal Teratoma (Child Warning)
A teratoma is a tumor with tissue or organ components resembling normal derivatives of all three germ layers. The word teratoma comes from Greek and means roughly monstrous tumor. teratomas (the plural infrequently given as teratomata) have been reported to contain hair, teeth, bone and very rarely more complex organs such as eyeball, torso, and hand. Usually, however, a teratoma will contain no organs but rather one or more tissues normally found in organs such as the brain, liver, and lung. all of which are the result of abnormal development of pluripotent (or totipotent) cells: germ cells and embryonal cells.

Could you imagine being pregnant for nearly a whole year and then the doctor pulls a monster from your body… how unsettling.. |
