Thanks in advance Marie Though I'm not an oncologist, we recently had a case here of a BCT (benign cystic teratoma) with squamous cell carcinoma arising in it. Malignant degeneration of a BCT is very rare but squamous cell ca is the most often described. According to our oncologists, if the lesion is contained, prognosis is excellent. A leiomyoma is a common, benign tumor of the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. Calling it "serosal" denotes its location on the outer wall of the uterus. -- Laurie Lovely, MD RE fellow, UNC-Chapel Hill Next message: Sonja: "Free Fatty Acids" Previous message: Sonja: "Blood Tests" In reply to: Marie Mangano RN: "Germ cell tumor of the ovary????"
