Holy hell, I had no idea that tumors could grow so FAST. 23kilograms in 8 weeks is just...wow.

A tumor that grew teeth.
Pretty much anything that's in your body can show up on an out-of-control tumor. Non-specialized cell growths tend to get really fucking weird.

Also, FYI, it's also immortal. Cancer is just a cell whose programmed-death genes are damaged or missing, making them functionally immortal. Malignant cancers are the ones that keep reproducing non-stop.
Tumors never age and they can persist indefinitely as long as they have sustenance.
Read about HeLa Cells if you wanna' learn some freaky shit.

Mature teratoma in a 22-year-old man. (a) Longitudinal US image of the right testis shows a multilocular cystic mass. The cysts vary in appearance from anechoic to echogenic. (b) Photograph of the gross specimen shows multiple cysts within the tumor.

Is that an ovarian cyst? Looks a bit like it could be an ovary. Apparently finding teeth and hair is quite common in ovarian cysts.
Oh yeah and also OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD NONONONONO.

Seriously, it would be a shame to waste it. Give it to some starving children in the Congo, they eat people anyway.
[QUOTE=OwnedByTheDog;36639314]It's a "teratoma".
It's a tumor containing one or more of the three primary embryonic germ layers.
There have been reports of them containing hair, teeth (like on the picture) and bone. There has also been very rare cases of them containing organs such as feet, hands and eyes.
The word comes from the greek word "[i]teras[/i]" meaning "[I]monster[/I]".[/QUOTE]
THEY WILL BECOME SENTIENT!
Those look like monsters. Fascinating actually.
When tumours become big enough they HAVE to become vasculated in order to survive and keep growing. One of the strategies in treating cancer is to inhibit angiogenesis at cancer cells to stunt growth.
