Teeth discovered inside my O***y
Case...
"It was like a dream when I was told that teeth were found in my o***y. What business do human teeth have inside my reproductive organ if not the work of the enemy? At first, I thought it was a joke until the surgeon showed me what I perceived as real human teeth with some touch of human hairs🤦😔 inside my o***y😭 hmm.
Explanation.
✍️ the egg (in the o***y) that is released by a lady every month is derived from a group of cells called germ cells. These are cells that are responsible for the production of eggs in females and s***matozoa in males (although there is a little twist between the two). In a normal situation, they are committed only to this function of eggs and s***matogenesis
✍️However, these germ cells come from another cluster of cells, that have the ability to give rise to all body parts such as the skin, hairs, brain, teeth, glands muscles, bones, etc. every part of us is derived from this cluster of cells that is called Epiblast. Germ cells that give rise to the eggs come from epiblast.
✍️in certain abnormal situation, these germ cells that should traditionally produce eggs begin to function like 'their father' Epiblast (remember, it is derived from epiblast) and consequently start producing bones, cartilage, teeth, hairs and other body parts inside the o***y.
✍️this collection of tissues will cause swelling or cyst in the o***y, and can lead to abdominal pains. Any type of tissue can be found in that cyst.
This condition I explained is called cystic teratoma or dermoid cyst.
Surgery is needed and the mass is to be sent for histology. It's rarely malignant, and common within reproductive age (more in young women)
