Mature thoracic intraspinal teratomas are rare tumors in adults. In this case study, we present a case of intradural, extramedullary teratoma, which was surgically resected. A 50 year old man presented with progressive bilateral leg pain, severe myelopathy and weakness. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a cystic mass lesion in the T11-12 region region. Microsurgical resection of the tumor using CO laser with neuromonitoring was performed. Postoperatively, the patient had a remarkable clinical improvement. Mature spinal teratomas are rare, slow growing spinal tumors. Surgical resection provides excellent recovery, and recurrence rates are low.
成熟型胸段椎管内畸胎瘤在成人中是罕见肿瘤。在本病例研究中，我们报告了一例经手术切除的硬脊膜内、髓外畸胎瘤病例。一名50岁男性出现进行性双侧腿痛、严重脊髓病和肌无力。磁共振成像（MRI）显示T11 - 12区域有一个囊性肿块病变。使用CO激光并在神经监测下对肿瘤进行了显微手术切除。术后，患者临床症状有显著改善。成熟型脊柱畸胎瘤是罕见的、生长缓慢的脊柱肿瘤。手术切除可带来良好的恢复，且复发率低。
