Abstract
Summary: A report is given of a patient, aged 42 years, with peritoneal dissemination from an ovarian teratoma composed of tissues which were predominantly well‐differentiated although many were immature. More than 10 kg. of tumour was formed over a period of about nine months. Tissue maturity in the teratoma was more advanced and the amount of embryonic elements relatively less at the time of autopsy than in the surgical specimen removed seven months earlier. Repeated surgical excision of recurrences may be the best form of treatment for this type of tumour.Keywords
