Teratomas

Teratoma: A tumor consisting of different types of tissue, as of skin, hair, and muscle caused by the development of independent germ cells. Teratomas are most common in the ovaries or testes.

 

Some artists also see these medical anomalies as things of beauty, humor, or social commentary.
