Hey that was a band! In about 1987 the L.A. punk fanzine Flipside released their second “Vinyl fanzine” (LP) which featured about 20 bands, one of them Vagina Dentata, with one of the better songs on the album, “Golden Boys.” I had the idea at the time they may have been Japanese because of the accents in the little into-to-the-song groove all the bands got, but I could be wrong.
Queen of Wands already did it… 
“teratoma-induced vagina dentata”
This is another one of those things that I NEVER EVER thought could ever occur in real life.
Thanks, SDMB. I’m gonna have really weird dreams tonight.

Man, why does fighting ignorance have to be so icky?
From the above column …
“tumor-driven cell division results in a lot of the same stuff you see in a developing fetus, including cartilage, bone, teeth, hair, brain tissue, and sometimes even bowel, skull, vertebrae, and eyes.”
(Bolding mine)
Brain tissue? :eek:
If this can happen, it can presumably happen “to the extreme” and form a fully functioning human being - however unlikely!
Could this explain the Immaculate Conception? 
Alot of people died in order to get the fur for those slippers…I have 1634 gen-u-wine human skin slippers for the trouble of trying to get my fur…
Why oh why did I read this thread?
If one is going to reject the supernatural in trying to explain the IC (as I have), I think it’s far more likely that the story is simply wrong (i.e. Jesus was conceived like you and I) than that He was a tumor…
But then, “Jesus Was A Tumor” is of course a great band name…
Just wanted to say - great Username/Thread Title match. 
Up until now, I thought I was special 'cause I once found a blueberry in my navel.
Man, do I feel low.
Our teratoma, who art in heaven…
Yeah, I mean, even at the age of eight, I was able to see the obvious application of Occam’s razor and deduce that it was far more likely the following scene occured, somewhere about -0.75 BC, than the tale of IC:
MARY: But I swear papa, I did not lie with the barbarian man with the large uncircumsized penis.
PAPA: <bemused, obviously not willing to imagine his little Mary knocking boots with the barbarian man with the large uncircumsized penis> Well, if you say so, my little Mary… ;j
MAMA: <imagining the barbarian man with the large uncircumsized penis> :dubious: Then why are you with child, dear?
MARY: It was God, mama. God came upon… err… came to me, and now I am with child. It is God’s child… immaculately conceived.
TOWN ELDER: <has seen it all before> OK, then. Standing policy on young virgins inseminated by God and not the large uncircumised barbarian is… <flips to well dog-eared page of the book of wisdom> Banishment. You shall be given a camel and a flagon of water and sent into the desert. :wally
TOWN ELDER: Next case, that of one Joseph, also accused of lying with the barbarian man with the large… [fade out]
No- if you read one sentence further, Cecil also said
I’m pretty sure it was the plot of an old Osamu Tezuka manga. And Tezuka’s kind of a god…

Did you check out the OP’s location?
And you though the Hall and Oatessong was figurative.
And she said, “Oh, good! Now, I can tell Cyrus I found his dentures.”
“Immaculate Conception” doesn’t mean what you think it means. It refers to the conception of Mary by her (non-virginal) mother without original sin.
