Chutian Metropolis Daily, July 20 (Reporter Liu Xun, Correspondent Gao Chenchen) A woman went to the hospital for surgery because of a minor gynecological problem, and the careful doctor discovered that she had teratoma . During the operation, the hair that the doctor took out from the woman's abdomen was "extending". When roughly placed in the operating room, it was more than two meters long. Even the well-informed medical staff at the scene were amazed by this sight. Today, the woman was discharged from the hospital and is extremely grateful to the doctor.
Ms. Wang, 46, lives in the suburbs of Wuhan and is 46 years old this year. A physical examination in June this year revealed that she had cervical polyps. In early July, she came to Wuhan Maternal and Child Health Hospital for treatment. Originally, a minor gynecological outpatient surgery could solve the problem. However, during a gynecological examination, Director Song felt a large mass on Ms. Wang's left ovary. She suspected it was an ovarian cyst. To be on the safe side, she needed to be hospitalized for surgery.
htmlOn July 12, Director Song Xiaojie performed laparoscopic surgery on Ms. Wang, intending to remove the left ovary and cyst. The minimally invasive instrument entered the pelvic cavity from Ms. Wang's navel. It can be seen that the wall of the "cyst" on the left ovary is thick and white, about 10 cm in diameter, about the size of a newborn's head. This shape is highly suspected to be a "large cyst" "teratoma".
Song Xiaojie used an instrument to make a small hole in Ms. Wang’s left ovary and peeled off the teratoma tissue. Because the capacity of commonly used medical collection bags is insufficient, Director Song's team made an "enlarged" sterile collection bag on site. Inside the tumor, doctors found a large amount of hair, fat, teeth, bones, skin and other tissues. Especially when taking out the hair tissue, after pulling it out many times, the black and thick hair seemed to "continue endlessly", and the well-informed doctors and nurses were also amazed.
"I have been working since 1982, and I have never seen so many hair teratomas in the past 38 years." Director Song Xiaojie said that this ball of hair was wrapped very tightly. After being taken out and roughly placed, it was more than two meters long. "Hair texture" is thick and black.
Song Xiaojie, director of the Gynecology Department of Wuhan Maternity and Child Health Hospital, said that teratoma is a common type of ovarian germ cell tumor, which originates from germ cells and often grows on women's ovaries. teratoma tumor usually looks unsightly and strangely shaped, and often contains many tissue components similar to those of the fetus. Hair, bones, fat, brain tissue, etc. can be seen during the operation, so it is named "teratoma", which is good. Occurs in women of childbearing age. Among them, 95%-98% are benign mature teratomas, and only 2%-5% are malignant teratomas.
Most early-stage teratomas have no obvious clinical symptoms and are mostly discovered accidentally during physical examination. However, if the teratoma grows too large, it will not only have a certain impact on fertility, but also lead to the occurrence of acute abdomen . She reminded women of childbearing age that it is very important to have a pregnancy test before becoming pregnant, especially annual gynecological examinations, so that related diseases can be detected in time and early intervention can be achieved.
Teratoma not only grows in the ovaries and testicles, but also in other parts of the body, such as the intracranium, thyroid, stomach, sacrococcygeal region, etc. These types are relatively rare, and the most common ones are on the ovaries of women.
