Abstract: Objective:To summarize and analyze the clinical features and diagnosis of tubal teratoma. Methods:4 cases of tubal teratoma in our hospital from 2010 to 2017 years and 25 cases reported in domestic literature were analyzed retrospectively. Results:The average age of 29 cases of tubal teratoma was 35.17 (24~60) years age, and the pregnancy history was 86.96%. The tumors occurred in the left side, 55.17%, the right side, 44.83%, and 72.41% in the fimbria and ampulla. The size of the tumor was between 0.3~15 cm, and 6~10 cm accounting for 55.17%. Abdominal pain and pelvic mass account for 72.41%. No cases were diagnosed before operation, 5 cases were reversed, and 3 cases were infertile. Mature teratoma accounted for 89.66%. Of 4 cases in our hospital, 2 underwent tubal mass stripping. The follow-up after stripping (1 cases followed up for 6 years, 1 cases followed up for 29 months) showed no tumor recurrence, and one of them was subsequent pregnant after 3 months, and 1 case was not pregnant so far. Conclusions:The clinical features of tubal teratoma are nonspecific and easily misdiagnosed. There are torsion, malignant change, infertility and other risks, treatment should be timely.
