The possible relationship among malignancy, differentiation, and chromosomal constitution of primary embryo-derived tumors was studied. Tumors were induced by transplanting 7-day-old mouse embryos under the kidney capsule of syngeneic BALB/c recipients. Transplantation of 101 embryos resulted in 18 tumor-bearing mice: 36 teratocarcinomas; 18 teratomas; and 27 yolk sac tumors. Some of the yolk sac tumors proved to be retransplantable for several generations. Cytogenetic investigation of the primary embryo-derived tumors revealed that the majority of teratocarcinomas (82%) were chromosomally normal, whereas almost all (83%) karyotyped teratomas and yolk sac tumors had a highly abnormal chromosomal constitution. Most common aberrations were polyploidy; overrepresentation of chromosome 1, 6, 15, or 19; and an underrepresentation of chromosome 2, 4, 14, or a sex chromosome.

D008649 Mesonephroma A rare tumor of the female genital tract, most often the ovary, formerly considered to be derived from mesonephric rests. Two varieties are recognized: (1) clear cell carcinoma, so called because of its histologic resemblance to renal cell carcinoma, and now considered to be of muellerian duct derivation and (2) an embryonal tumor (called also ENDODERMAL SINUS TUMOR and yolk sac tumor), occurring chiefly in children. The latter variety may also arise in the testis. (Dorland, 27th ed) Mesonephromas

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013724 Teratoma A true neoplasm composed of a number of different types of tissue, none of which is native to the area in which it occurs. It is composed of tissues that are derived from three germinal layers, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. They are classified histologically as mature (benign) or immature (malignant).
