The Growing Teratoma Syndrome

Pediatric Radiology, 2004
Growing teratoma syndrome is defined as enlarging masses of mature teratoma following chemotherapy for malignant nonseminomatous germ-cell tumors. Typically, there is associated normalization of initially elevated serum tumor markers. We describe clinical and imaging findings in a case of growing teratoma syndrome originating from immature teratoma of ...

Mediastinal growing teratoma syndrome

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1997
The growing teratoma syndrome refers to the phenomenon whereby germ cell tumors enlarge after chemotherapy despite complete eradication of malignant cells and normalization of serum tumor markers. This clinical scenario must be differentiated from that in which germ cell tumors maintain their malignant characteristics with elevated levels of serum ...

The growing teratoma syndrome secondary to immature teratoma of the ovary

European Radiology, 2002
The growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) secondary to a testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumor has been well described since the first case was reported in 1982. In addition, radiological findings of male GTS have also reported in several studies; however, its occurrence secondary to an ovarian germ cell tumor is extremely rare.
