Abstract

We investigated the possibility of preoperative diagnosis and clinical features of mature ovarian teratoma containing malignant elements (MOTME). Between 1982 and 1998 in our hospital, MOTME accounted for 2.0% (5 cases) of the total of 251 patients with mature ovarian teratoma (ages, 37-72; mean age, 60.6). Serum CA19-9, CA125, SCC and CEA levels were high. All cases were strongly suspected malignancies, preoperatively diagnosed using serum tumor markers with diagnostic imaging. Two cases of stage I squamous cell carcinoma and one case of borderline malignancy survived, while the other two advanced cases died within 8 months.
