Abstract
A case of a clinically silent mature teratoma of the uterine corpus is repo rted. A 55-year-old woman presented with multiple uterine leiomyomas. The d iscovery was incidental, because the patient was asymptomatic. Macroscopica lly, a colloid-hemorrhagic-looking nodule was present. Histologic and immun ohistochemical studies showed that this tumor was a small thyroid mass.
