Abstract:

One case of uterine teratoma admitted to our hospital was retrospectively analyzed, including the perioperative data and follow-up data. The patient was a woman aged 34 years, with a history of two caesarean sections. She had abnormal menstruation. Vaginal color Doppler ultrasound showed that a mass occupied the uterine cavity. Under hysteroscopy, the tumor was found to be located at the scar of caesarean section with a clear appearance boundary. The viscous oil flowed out when the tumor was cut. The cyst wall was smooth, and no bone and hair tissue were found. Pathological examination revealed a mature teratoma. Follow-up visit for 1 month and 6 months showed a good prognosis, and ultrasound examination revealed no abnormalities in the uterine cavity.
