Abstract

Teratomas that arise from the three germ layers rarely show spinal involvement. Teratomas account for up to 0.1% of all spinal cord tumors. They are classified as mature, immature or malignant type according to their histological characteristics. Teratomas occur more often in the pediatric and young population. The majority of the tumors occur at the conus medullaris; localizations at the thoracic and cervical regions are seen less frequently. Total resection is the most commonly adopted procedure for therapeutic objective. We discuss herein a 24-year-old male patient who was referred to our clinic with cystic mature teratoma at the L2 level.

Özet

Teratomlar üç germ yaprağından köken alan ve spinal tutulumları nadir olan tümörlerdir. Teratomlar tüm spinal kord tümörlerinin %0,1'ni oluştururlar. Histolojik özelliklerine göre matür, immatür ve malign tip olarak üç grupta sınıflandırılırlar. Genellikle çocuk ve genç yaşlarda sık görülmektedir. Tümörün en sık yerleşim yeri conus medullaris seviyesidir. Torakal ve servikal bölgede nadirde olsa yerleşir. Tedavilerinde cerrahi ile total rezeksiyon ön plandadır. Bu yazıda L2 düzeyinde görülen ve patolojik tanısı kistik matür teratom olarak gelen 24 yaşında genç erkek hasta sunuldu. Başa DönÖzetGirişOlgu SunusuTartışmaKaynaklar
