Abstract
Immature teratomas with peritoneal gliomatosis are rare. Eight cases have been registered by the Dutch Ovarian Tumor Committee and one patient, presented in this paper, was treated recently. The follow-up in these cases indicates a good prognosis, even in grade 2 teratomas. Peritoneal implants do not influence adversely the prognosis when they are composed of mature glial tissue. A conservative approach seems to be justified.
