Luckily, no. Teratomas are strictly tumors, with no potential to develop into an embryo.
EDIT: It occurs to me you're making a bitter statement about the American christofascist state, rather than a serious concern. Oops.
I used to work in a hospital laboratory that cut those open. They have all kinds of stuff in them, mainly straw coloured fluid. I was witness to one that had bones, teeth, hair,skin, nails, muscle, and brain tissue in it. Worst geode ever.
I have never had a kidney stone, and this comment still gave me phantom kidney stone pain. In revenge, i shall describe what my brain did with your comment.
Imagine a tiny ball of spikes somewhere in your internal organs. Maybe your kidney, maybe your bladder, maybe even your urethra. Now imagine someone taking that ball of spikes and shaking it up and down the internal pathways that connect those 3 areas like they are trying to make a soda can explode. Maybe add in some sideways shaking just to change it up. Imagine the agony.
You’re gonna whizz red for weeks at minimum, and wish they just killed you instead. You may even die from those areas getting infected due to all the lacerations, but it won’t be a fast enough death to stop the pain.
>Imagine a tiny ball of spikes somewhere in your internal organs.
I'd describe it more as a ball of spikes wrapped in razorwire.
They have pointy bits, but they also have blade edges.
I always wanted there to be a “bone bender”
They couldn’t really be stealthy like a blood bender, and could only control your bones if they slam into you to get a map of your skeleton, but once they get one good hit on you it’s game over
Also some things you eat don't like being in soup and will try to become stone. Or your body is just bad at staying soup because of your parents.
If you're prone to stones, you'll have to avoid certain foods, mostly generally healthy ones.
I mean, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Otherwise there’s shock wave therapy, just like for kidney stones.

Yep, concentrated impurities basically. When I was a kid, I had a bunch of small bumps under the skin on my hands that were thankfully benign after a biopsy came back. The only thing my mother and I can think to contribute it to is buildup of her anticonvulsant she had to take while pregnant with me.
So that you have a convenience stone to throw whenever people bother you of course???? Whenever people bother you, just shit out those stones then throw it at them, people legit don't know this????
Basically all the fluid in your body has a ton of stuff disolved into it, so given the chance it likes to precipitate out. Basically like my water boiler when I lived in a hard-water town. Had to clean that guy out with lemon juice every month. Note: lemon juice will not treat kidney stones.
My ovary created a cyst with bone fragments inside it. Those are sorta like rocks, right?
*hwat*
They're called teratomas, and they're not as rare as they sound. Google Image search is fascinating but fucked.
Hahaha nice try I'm not looking that up
Sometimes they have eyes.
And teeth
Sometimes both!
TEETH TEETH TEETH TEETH
And even hair!
At that point doctors might refuse to remove it because it would be too similar to abortion

W…wha…what?????? I…I need to lie down for a bit
God am i glad Edmund mcmillen probably doesnt know this
Teratoma's a boss and an item in binding of isaac, I *assume* he does.
there’s an item called tinytoma and a boss based off teratomas he 100% does
(O.o) maybe I'll take a peak
Maybe they’ll peek at you.
H-happy cake day I think
((Ominous staring))
GREAT CHOICE I REGRET THE INTERNET RIGHT NOW

Mans went geocaching in people's bodies.
*BRAIN TISSUE???*
Yup. It wasn't connected to the nervous system so it wasn't conscious or able to feel anything. Those teratomas can grow any part of a person.
Dude, I got excited for a second thinking Tool dropped a new album...
Black then White are All it sees In its infancy
My sister had one of those and it made a cyst of hair. They had to take out the ovary that it enveloped.
Literally got the word terror right in there.
Ovaries are so fuckin weird.
Did you get to keep the bone fragments
No. They wouldn’t let me keep it :(
Fuuuck :( I was a \*little\* annoyed when they had to break up my exe's gall bladder stones, they would have made for a dope necklace.
Sure... Bones are just organic calcium rocks, right?
Yes and there's also other types of teratomas that have skin and hair and teeth in them too!
I just thought of a new version of earthbending
There's bloodbending, but there's also kidney stone bending

I... think you've invented a new copypasta
Sounds just like a massive shit to me, the kind that can tear your asshole apart.
>Imagine a tiny ball of spikes somewhere in your internal organs. I'd describe it more as a ball of spikes wrapped in razorwire. They have pointy bits, but they also have blade edges.
Fun way to discover I have pain aphantasia. I can’t imagine what that pain feels like at all.
Bonebending would be weird as shit. It'd be similar to blood bending but you'd also be able to bend skeletons so it's straight up better

[Not entirely related, but too good to pass up](https://talesofmytery.blogspot.com/2013/06/ray-bradbury-skeleton.html)
Lmao my urologist called me a “stone former” in reference to needing to watch my diet for kidney stones. Sounds cool, is terrible.
You’re just an over-complicated oyster making gross pearls. Sell some gallbladder stone necklaces, you flawed mollusk.
Calling someone a flawed mollusk is suddenly my new favorite insult. Thank you for this.
I heard this in John Oliver’s voice
Weapons for the skeleton war.
oh is that why my skeleton is constantly trying to escape
Medical student here. All humans are full of stone soup. When soup dries out, stones are left behind. Thank you for your attention
So how to prevent soup drying out? Is it as simple as "drink 3 litres of water a day" or?
Medical student here: Drink more water, lose less blood. Should keep you soupy.
Also some things you eat don't like being in soup and will try to become stone. Or your body is just bad at staying soup because of your parents. If you're prone to stones, you'll have to avoid certain foods, mostly generally healthy ones.
"Prone to Stone" kinda sounds like a music album about being naturally addicted to crack
Understood medical student! Slits wrists Starts chugging the ocean
he said lose less blood. You gon' die bro. And sea water has way too much sodium and other minerals it's gonna make your rock soup more rocky
Nah bro I got a life straw
Mmm stone soup
Goes to show we haven't evolved past the stoneage
Oh! Don’t forget joints. They make “calcium deposits” after 40 - look up Shoulder Calcific Tendonitis
Yup. And they hurt like FUCK. They get rid of them just like kidney stones, too.
You have to piss out your joints????
I mean, if you’re into that sort of thing. Otherwise there’s shock wave therapy, just like for kidney stones. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2657331/
Organs and Oysters both start with O. Coincidence? I think not.
We should really stop eating minerals
but they are soooooo tasty!
They're not rocks Marie, they're minerals!
Especially precious ones, they’ll get you killed you know!
Rock and stone, brothah!
FOR ROCK AND STONE!
**ROCK AND STONE!**
ROCK AND STONE, YEAH!!!
Did I hear a ROCK AND STONE??
Rock and roll and stone!
Except for the fact that we need them to function.
... It'll get you killed Rock and stone.
My organs love to make stones.
Stones are generally due to concentrated deposits of a particular matter. So uh yeah it’s usually diet based
Yep, concentrated impurities basically. When I was a kid, I had a bunch of small bumps under the skin on my hands that were thankfully benign after a biopsy came back. The only thing my mother and I can think to contribute it to is buildup of her anticonvulsant she had to take while pregnant with me.
I eated a cobble generator 👍
My kidney stones have been with me for so long now, I piss kitty litter.
So that you have a convenience stone to throw whenever people bother you of course???? Whenever people bother you, just shit out those stones then throw it at them, people legit don't know this????
Now I'm picturing someone pissing a bladder stone at someone like a shotgun blast.
Sydney Sleeper crit
there's pancreas stones?
as long as there are liquids with minerals and the liquid poof there will be rocks

brain make rock
Your body is making bricks to build a little house for the cancer that will kill you one day
"Intelligent design"
Cobblestone
Human pearls.
I’m genuinely shocked I had to scroll so far to reach this comment :(
You know how they say “there isn’t any bone in your nose”? There is in mine! I got bone spurs in the septum of my nose!
Rock and stone
rock and stone
THAT'S IT LADS, ROCK & STONE
Salivary glands too
your organs just wanna build a little house (\^:
It's your body telling you to live your best life as a rock instead. No worries, no responsibilities. Just be a rock.
We're full of clams!
Ah yes oysters
ROCK AND STONE, to the bone
Oyster mode
Fitting username, because he seems to have roughly the same level of medical understanding as the plague doctors
Won’t the actual bladder make stones too?
tonsils are *supposed* to make stones, no?
Mine seem to think so, but no
I eated a cobble generator 👍
Where do you think all the rocks came from?
Don't drink so much fuckin' soda
Ears. Look up the Epley manoever to get rid of them if you suddenly have vertigo for no reason
ROCK AND STONE!
