Spooky Fact #25: A Teratoma is a type of tumor that can be either benign or malignant that can grow hair, bones, and even teeth.

Teratomas

Even if science has all the answers to something, that doesn’t make it any less interesting... or in this case, creepy. “What am I talking about today?” you may be wondering. Well I’m taking a look at something medical, something which happens to people all the time. Something that could grow on you. A tumor.

Are those teeth? Is that a mouth? No, that’s not a mouth. Yes, they are teeth. How is that possible? Well, teratomas are actually found near the reproductive areas. They form when your body has a complication with its germ cells, the cells responsible for the growth in your body. Because of this, teratomas form, which grow things not usually found in that area.

Due to the fact that the tumor starts to grow random things, this can include muscles, bone, brain cells, hair, teeth and even eyes. None of these are actually functional, though, so don’t worry, your not just going to have some monster being grow onto your side.

You never know whats inside a person and sometimes that’s okay.

Partially developed brain found in young girl's ovary

A team of surgeons performing a routine appendectomy on a young woman also found and removed a tumor they noticed growing on their patient's ovary. Subsequent analysis of the tumor by researchers with the Shiga Medical Centre for Adults in Japan revealed that the tumor contained a teratoma with a brain-like structure along with a partially developed skull bone and hair fragments. They have published their findings in the journal Neuropathology.

Teratomas, also known as dermoid cysts, are not all that uncommon, the researchers report, but ones that have brain-like structures are extremely rare. In this case, the teratoma, which is Greek for the word monster, held a brain-like structure that was so advanced it had partially developed into a cerebellum with a brain stem and was able to transmit electrical pulses delivered by the research team.

My Surgery is Tomorrow

Staff still hasn't fixed my messages and ask box, so reblogs and tags are the only way im able to communicate right now

but on to the surgery thing, my check in time for the hospital is 5:30 am Pacific Standard Time.

they are taking out this thing

if you know how to read a CT scan you know what your looking at

for those of you who don't here's a highlighted version

all that circled area is Teratoma.

Ain't it a bute!

it goes almost entirely from my pelvic to my rib-cage, plus there's a smaller one tucked between my uterus and spine.

we dont know what's in all those dark pockets yet, but that little white speck is a bit of bone (to big to be teeth)

they cant even tell which teratoma belongs to which ovary cause everything is so squished, but the plan is the ovary attached to the big one is going to get yeeted out with it and the one attached to the smaller one is going to get special treatment and be separated from it so I dont have to deal with early menopause (YAY!, but also remember, if you cant get home-made girl juice store-bought is still fine)

The surgeon said the whole thing shouldnt hopefully take more than an hour and a half, Theyre gonna cut me open from pantie line to belly button, and depending on the size of everything may have to go all the way up to the ribcage, then staple me shut and keep in in hospital anywhere from 3 to 5 days.

during that time my dogs are being boarded, which is scaring the shit out of me with that mystery virus going around but it cant be avoided.

you might see me post right up to the point of no return, but it might be awhile until I can post again ( outside of some queued stuff), and there is always that chance of the most grimm outcome

if thats the case remember I had a lot to learn about race issues, but its always worth the effort to get better about that shit, its important to listen to POC, and not just the ones that make you feel good about it.

Trans Rights are Human rights, full stop. No further comment needed. Whatever flavor of gender-fuckery you feel like should be free and open to ya, it aint hurting anyone

Free Palestine does not mean Jewish destruction, it never has.

Actual antisemitism is an evil that should never be allowed. Same with islamaphobia, same with any religious fighting bs

facist should choke on their own hatred

Fuck or no fuck, many lovers of any gender or just friends, live your life, love yourself, do no harm and take no shit.

I could go on awhile with these just in case good bye/not good bye shit but I will end it here on if you ever bothered to message me or comment or were just a cool mutual of mine, you had an effect on my life, even if it was fleeting, even if we never talked.

So thanks for that

Update, 11/22/23

IM ALIVE! surgery is over, both teratomas are benign, and while I do hurt its not as bad as I feared and all seems to be well!

While i've the previously published collections and the privilege of handling some of the originals, this new edition by @fulgur.press is a beautiful work, and the introductory essay by @henrik_bogdan offers an invaluable view of their genesis, as well as the confrontation, penetration & permeation of "Western" and "Eastern" esotericisms. Highly recommended! #crossroads #carfax #vitriol #typhonian #teratomas https://www.instagram.com/p/CXED-dJrjvm/?utm_medium=tumblr
