Teratomas are rare neoplasms that arise from totipotent stem cells. Teratomas of the head and neck are extremely rare, constituting about 10% of all cases and usually present in the neonatal period. Extensive literature search has shown that there are only two cases reportedof teratoma of the ethmoid sinus; one as a mature teratoma in a neonate and another was histologically immature teratoma in an adult male (Mwang'ombe et al. in East Afr Med J 79(2):106-107, 2002; Aggarwal et al. in J Postgrad Med 59(2):138-141, 2013). We hereby report the second case of immature teratoma of ethmoid sinus origin in an adult male.
畸胎瘤是起源于全能干细胞的罕见肿瘤。头颈部畸胎瘤极为罕见,约占所有病例的10%,通常在新生儿期出现。广泛的文献检索表明,仅有两例筛窦畸胎瘤的报道;一例为新生儿的成熟畸胎瘤,另一例为成年男性的组织学上不成熟的畸胎瘤(姆旺戈姆贝等人,《东非医学杂志》,2002年,79(2):106 - 107;阿加瓦尔等人,《医学研究生杂志》,2013年,59(2):138 - 141)。我们在此报告第二例成年男性起源于筛窦的不成熟畸胎瘤。
