Pure chronic renal failure as a presentation of a conus neoplasm is a rare entity. In addition, few case reports exist describing an intramedullary teratoma among adults.
We present a unique case of intramedullary mature cystic teratoma, presenting as isolated renal failure.
As distinguished radiological criteria cease to exist regarding intramedullary teratomas, these neoplasms continue to provide pathological surprises. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice. The literature review indicates good surgical outcome.
以单纯慢性肾衰竭为表现的圆锥肿瘤是一种罕见的疾病。此外,关于成人髓内畸胎瘤的病例报告很少。
我们报告了一例独特的髓内成熟囊性畸胎瘤病例,表现为孤立性肾衰竭。
由于关于髓内畸胎瘤不存在明确的放射学标准,这些肿瘤继续带来病理上的意外情况。手术切除仍然是首选的治疗方法。文献综述表明手术效果良好。
