A teratoma is a tumor caused by reproductive cells capable of being specialized into different forms. Usually, it develops in male testes, female ovaries, and children's skull sutures.
It is common that a teratoma ends up transforming into an irrelevant tissue to the cells surrounding it. For example, a teratomas occurring in an ovary are known to become body hair and teeth.

You should either put "Teratomas" and treat the rest of the phrase in plural form or use the indefinite article "A" => "A teratoma is..."
"Ovarium" should read "Ovary" and the phrase would be better turned "For example, teratomas occurring in an ovary are known to become body hair and teeth."
Are you sure it read "to become" and not "to contain"?
thank you for your correction. I'm not sure why I said a teratomas all the sudden.
According to the original contect, i am sure it is "to become" and not "to contain" since its literal translation is "to develop into" something.
