My little brother has a teratoma tumour and hes in the hospital but nobody will tell me what it is.. would you mind explaining..? how serious is it?

Need additional info: Your concern is understandable , first how old are you ? First speak to your parents , they will tell you. Medical information is confidential , as your brother is 5 being a minor only the guardian ( parents ) has access to that confidential information .
