description BACKGROUND: Intramedullary mature teratomas (IMMTs) are rare. This is particularly true in the adult population. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 49-year-old female developed progressive paraparesis due to a T6 intramedullary mature teratoma with an exophytic component. She was successfully managed, utilizing a laminectomy with microsurgical tumor removal. The literature review documented 57 similar cases. CONCLUSION: Here, we presented a 49-year-old female with a T6 intramedullary mature teratoma accompanied by an exophytic component who underwent total tumor resection with an incomplete recovery.
