Cervicomedullary junction mature teratoma with pulmonary differentiation and diastematomyelia in an adult – A rare case

BACKGROUND: Intradural extramedullary teratomas in the cervical or cervicomedullary region are rare in adults. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report a symptomatic, mature teratoma at the cervicomedullary junction in a 52-year-old Hispanic female who also has a type I diastematomyelia in the thoracolumbar spin...

description BACKGROUND: Intradural extramedullary teratomas in the cervical or cervicomedullary region are rare in adults. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report a symptomatic, mature teratoma at the cervicomedullary junction in a 52-year-old Hispanic female who also has a type I diastematomyelia in the thoracolumbar spine. The patient underwent surgical resection of the lesion with the resolution of presenting symptoms. Histopathology of the lesion revealed a mature cystic teratoma with pulmonary differentiation. CONCLUSION: We discuss the case along with a review of pertinent literature and considerations with regard to the diagnosis, etiology, prognosis, and management of this unusual pathology.
