Slide 159: Ovary with cystic teratoma
 |
Here we are looking at only a small portion
of a large benign cystic lesion of the ovary. We have just a few strips from
the wall, and in them you will see multiple benign tissue types, representing
all three germ layers; ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm.
See this slide with the
virtual microscope. |

This is a higher power view of the wall of
the cyst showing epidermal epithelium, complete with dermis, hair shafts and
even erector pillae muscle tissue. Keep looking there's more. |
