Orbital Mature Teratoma Case in a Simmental Breed Calf

Abstract

Teratoma is defined as a congenital neoplasm containing elements from all three germinal cell layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm) and classified as mature, immature, and malignant according to their cell structure. Mature dermoid cysts, which are among teratomas, are benign tumors that represent the simplest form of teratoma. However, to date, detailed research was not found on the ocular dermoid cysts in calves. This study is the first of its kind in Turkey and will contribute to the literature.
