mature teratomas are composed all three types of tissues, mesodermal, ecotodermal, and endodermal.
Monodermal teratoma is only composed of one type of tissue.
For example, struma ovarii-the most common monodermal teratoma is composed of solely thyroid tissue. This is why it expresses thyroid hormones.
not sure if mature teratomas express thyroid hormones. I think it depends on whether they have thyroid tissue in them or not.....
