Spinal intradural extramedullary teratomas are rare tumors arising from more than one germ cell layers and are more common in children than in older age groups. Teratomas are more commonly seen in intracranial compartment and are extremely rare in the spine. They are difficult to diagnose pre-operatively and the definitive diagnosis is usually done by histopathologic evaluation. Intraspinal teratomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any intradural extramedullary tumor of the spine. We reviewed the literature and reported a rare case of intradural extramedullary teratoma in an adolescent located in dorsolumbar spine without any history of prior spinal procedure.
椎管内硬脊膜外脊索瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤，起源于超过一个胚层细胞，并在儿童中比在老年人群中更为常见。脊索瘤更常见于颅内，在脊柱中极为罕见。它们在术前很难诊断，明确的诊断通常通过组织病理学评估来完成。椎管内脊索瘤应被视为任何脊柱硬脊膜外髓外肿瘤的鉴别诊断。我们复习了文献，报告了一例罕见的无既往脊柱手术史的青少年胸腰段椎管内硬脊膜外脊索瘤。
