[Testicular teratoma with meningothelial elements].

A case of a mature adult teratoma of the right testicle in 34-year-old man is reported. Microscopically, well-differentiated gut and respiratory epithelium prevailed in the lesion. There were also epidermis and well-developed skin adnexa. In addition, a focus of a meningothelial cell proliferation containing psammoma bodies was detected. There were also a peripheral nerve and glial tissue adjacent to the meningothelial elements.

The glial tissue was positive for
