Très différent de la dysembryoplasie, le tératome contient des tissus étrangers à la région qui l'abrite et ressemblant à ceux qui se succèdent au cours du développement, depuis le stade embryonnaire jusqu'au stade adulte, par différenciation des trois feuillets primordiaux, ectoblastique, endoblastique, mésoblastique. Il se présente presque toujours comme une tumeur et certains tératomes se comportent effectivement comme un cancer. 3, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9ratome

Le tératome malin contient toujours des tissus immatures, qu'il s'agisse d'un tératome immature à proprement parler ou d'un tératome mixte, que son type soit pluricellulaire complexe ou simplifié, et que des tissus soient moyennement, peu ou pas différenciés. C'est en général sous l'angle macroscopique, un tératome solide, moins souvent un tératome kystique. Il en est ainsi, par exemple, de la plupart des tératomes de la région pinéale et de nombreux tératomes des gonades [ou tératomes gonadiques]. 3, record 2, French, - t%C3%A9ratome%20malin
