Abstract

An immature teratoma is a teratoma that is known to contain immature anaplastic elements and is often known as malignant teratoma. Around 95% of testicular cancer is germ cell tumor (GCT). GCT is further divided into Non seminomatous GCT (NSGCT) and Seminoma. NSGCT include choriocarcinoma, embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac tumor, teratoma and mixed tumor. Among these only 2–6% of teratoma is pure teratoma. Pure teratoma can be subdivided into prepubertal and post pubertal. Among these two subgroups, the prognosis is also different. We report here a rare case of pure post-pubertal immature teratoma.
