Abstract

Organoid development of the lung in ovarian teratoma is very rare. The fifth case of this kind with an adult type lung and a bronchiolar system is presented in this paper. The largest published series of benign cystic ovarian teratoma are analysed. Factors influencing the incidence of endodermally drived tissues are discussed.
