Treatment Mature cystic teratomas can be surgically removed and they don’t require any other treatment [5]. [cancerwall.com]

The adjuvant treatment options include thyroxine, total thyroidectomy with radioactive iodine ablation or no adjuvant treatment. Long-term follow-up is recommended in all cases. [peertechz.com]

It is important when considering prognosis and therapy to realize the metastatic potential of extra-embryonic elements in teratomas, as distinct from the tendency of immature embryonic components to implant locally and mature into noninvasive deposits [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis Treatment is generally with oophorectomy, and if distant metastases are present postoperative chemotherapy. [radiopaedia.org]

Thus, in the face of peritoneal implants suspected tobe of a teratomatous nature, thorough and extensive samplingis essential to exclude the presence of immature elementswhich may imply a poor prognosis and require aggressivetherapy. [fdocuments.in]
