There were 3 cases of malignant change, which were squamous carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, and digestive gland epithelial carcinoma. The incidence of malignant change was 15%.Conclusion In postmenopausal women, mature ovarian cystic teratoma should be treated as lowly malignant and should be paid much attention.展开更多
