Rationale for change

This is my understanding

Mature teratoma in female = almost always benign
Mature teratoma in male = benign usually but malignant is possible
Immature teratoma in male/female = always malignant

When a mature teratoma becomes malignant it is then called an immature teratoma.



There's no UWorld QID tagged to compare.
First Aid agrees that immature = malignant
Sketchy image on card does as well.
