Cervical teratomas are relatively rare congenital tumors pathologically defined by their three germ cell layer composition. Classically they manifest as solid or mixed solid-cystic lesions. Purely cystic teratomas pose a diagnostic challenge due to their clinical and radiologic similarity to lymphatic vascular malformations. Sclerotherapy, rather than operative excision, may be offered as therapy. We present an unusual cystic neck mass to highlight this dilemma.
宫颈畸胎瘤是相对罕见的先天性肿瘤，其病理特征是由三个胚层组成。典型情况下，它们表现为实性或实性-囊性混合病变。纯囊性畸胎瘤因其临床和影像学表现与淋巴管畸形相似，给诊断带来挑战。治疗可采用硬化疗法而非手术切除。我们展示了一个不寻常的颈部囊性肿物，以突出这一困境。
