Best Answer

A tumor arising from all three embryonic germ layers, arising from the ovaries or testes.

Much more common in females, very uncommonly malignant in females. When occurring in males much more likely to be malignant.

Terratomas are the tumors that contain hair, teeth, skin, etc. They are not the remains of a twin that was "swallowed in utero" or anything like that.
