Abstract

Objective: Paraclinical characteristics of surgically treated ovarian teratoma patients. Subjects and Methods: This cross-sectional retrospective study enrolled 252 patients diagnosed with and surgically treated for ovarian teratoma from January 2022 to December 2022 at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. Results: The mean age was 30.42 years (range: 10-68). Bilateral ovarian teratomas were found in 39 patients (11.5%). The mean tumor size was 70.73mm. O-RADS classification 2, 3, and 4 on ultrasound accounted for 80.6%, 11.5%, and 7.9%, respectively. Immature and mature teratomas constituted 2% and 98%, respectively. CA 125 levels increased with higher O-RADS classification; CA 125 and aFP levels were higher in immature teratoma patients compared to mature teratoma patients, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). The mean tumor size of the immature teratoma group was larger than that of the mature teratoma group, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Immature teratomas exhibited larger tumor sizes, higher O-RADS classifications, and elevated levels of tumor markers (Ca125, HE4, aFP).
