Hardesty, Brandon M.; Ulbright, Thomas M.; Touloukian, Christopher; Einhorn, Lawrence H.
- Abstract
Germcell tumors predominantly involve the gonads butmay rarely be found outside of the gonads, primarily in midline structures. We describe the case of a 27-year-old male with an asymptomatic 8 cmteratoma located within the lesser sac of his omentum. This is the fourth case of a teratoma located within the lesser sac of the omentum, which provides the opportunity to make some comparisons. Finally, we discuss some of the etiologic theories behind extragonadal germ cell tumors and how they relate to teratomas in the lesser sac.
