Extragonadal immature teratoma of the uterus
Given the rarity of uterine immature teratomas, management of this case was extrapolated from existing recommendations for immature ovarian teratomas. Unlike in prior case reports where surgical approach was via an exploratory laparotomy, our patient underwent optimal debulking via minimally invasive surgery with ovarian preservation and adjuvant chemotherapy. Given the chemosensitive nature of germ cell tumors, further fertility sparing options for extragonadal immature teratoma may be further explored.
