growing teratoma syndrome
MONDO:0017807
A condition characterized by the presence of a growing mature teratoma in a patient during or after chemotherapy for a non-seminomatous germ cell tumor, with normal serum markers for human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha fetoprotein. Complete surgical resection is the preferred treatment.
Disease research snapshot
No clinical trials have been linked to this exact normalized concept in the current published dataset. This is a coverage limitation, not evidence that the condition or medicine has never been studied. Try a synonym or browse registry-reported labels.
Numbers are derived from CureCurrent's current ClinicalTrials.gov projection and conservative MONDO/RxNorm mappings. See sources, counting rules and limitations and verify eligibility or clinical findings with the original study record.

Growing teratoma syndrome
Growing teratoma syndrome is a rare complication of teratoma that can occur when an immature testicular or ovarian germ cell teratoma is treated by chemotherapy. The masses are benign, but can grow quickly. They are usually found in the retroperitoneum but can be in the lung, cervical lymph nodes, mediastinum, supraclavicular lymph nodes, inguinal lymph nodes, forearm, mesentery, liver, and pineal gland.

How to interpret this record
CureCurrent links normalized diseases, medicines, registry study labels, sponsors and research sites. A link is not the same as a finding of clinical effectiveness. Our research guides explain how to compare studies, decode RxNorm identities, and avoid over-interpreting site and trial counts. See the published database coverage for mapping completeness.
