Does anyone have a reference to substantiate this? It sounds a bit tall to me; stem cells are being considered for Parkinson's, but AFAIK not for CVAs. JFW | T@lk 10:25, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
According to Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease, teratomas arise from totipotent cells. Anyone any arguments for the 'pluripotent' as stated here in the first line?
I removed the following list item because it hints at a larger table, but has only one entry from the bottom of that table, which just looks a bit odd sitting by itself out there. It's kind of like saying, "1% of teratomas are gastric", which is sort of trivia without information about that other 99%. Really the solution is to have a complete table of teratoma incidence by location, but until that becomes available, I've moved the graf here. Collabi 19:42, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Why is http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/teratomas/ being removed? Fred Bauder 01:26, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Because it is without question external link spam. Someone else removed a link to another support group. I allowed that one because that group has a public archive. This one does not, so I do not know that it is in fact what its promoters purport it to be. I am not the only editor who has removed it, BTW. Are you a subscriber? If not, what is your interest? -- Una Smith 16:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Una,
How is it that you have decided unilaterally to classify this link as spam?
It is without question not spam, it is the story of a little girl from California who suffered a large facial teratoma and was cured by surgery. It contains photos of the teratoma and may be of interest to Wikipedia readers who are interested in learning more about teratomas. There are no ads or references to objectionable material in the article or anywhere on the site, perhaps you deleted it in error.
I believe if you refer to Wikipedia's policy on external links, you will see that the story about the little girl with the teratoma fits the criteria of being an appropriate link.
Lastly, after reading this, I hope you are acting sincerely and netutrally regarding this issue. Above you mention that you allowed a link to another support group because it has a public archive, but from this, it appears as if it was you who added the link.
I am hoping that this is a misunderstanding and that your POV is neutral and within the spirit of Wikipedia.

Um, was that picture even originally a teratoma? I seriously have my doubts. It looks like just an artistic photshop job to me. — NRen2k5( TALK), 19:22, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
I think an interesting, non-disgusting photograph could be found without a great deal of difficulty. For example, for several months, one of our dogs had a teratoma -- a toenail growing in the middle of her ear. It looked odd but not disgusting. It eventually just fell off. The doctor said they were quite common in dogs. 71.175.4.207 ( talk) 15:14, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Doctors induce 5-month coma to save woman's life It seems this poor woman had a rare reaction to a teratoma - antibodies produced in response to a teratoma started attacking her healthy brain. Thought it might be of some interest here Jedikaiti ( talk) 22:54, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
I have a question: how do fully formed limbs, hands, feet, and organs form like this? fetiform teratomas have been knonw tho have entire heads, how do these devolp? has it eveyr been thought to ariffically induce them for organ harvesting? 173.160.74.137 ( talk) 08:08, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone have more information on this? It's far outside of my expertise, but as a reader I am fascinated by this and think it could (maybe?) be expanded on in the article by someone more knowledgeable. 174.17.180.214 ( talk) 10:49, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
