Abstract
The first documented case of teratoma dates to 1820 and was described by the French physician Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire [1]. The term "teratoma" derives from the Greek τέρας "teras", meaning "monster" or "anomaly", and -ωμα "oma", meaning "tumor" [2]. This name was coined in 1863 by German pathologist Rudolf Virchow, who studied numerous cases of tumors containing heterogeneous tissues and noted that these tumors appeared to contain "a monster" of various tissue types.
