description Teratomas are a type of multipotential cell tumor that contain a mixture of multiple germinal layers formed by normal organogenesis and reproductive tissues the incidence of intracranial teratomas is low, approximately 0.5-2.2% of all intracranial tumors. The occurrence of teratomas in the spine is extremely rare. Except for in the sacrococcygeal region, teratomas constitute <0.5% of all intraspinal tumors.
