Abstract

Teratomas are perinatal neoplasias developed from primitive gonadal germ cells. There cervical location is very rare and presents any risks of diagnostic error. we report a case of an 18-year-old female patient without any pathological history received for an anterior cervical swelling that had been evolving about 12 months ago. The mass was mobile on palpation and swallowing evoking a nodular goiter both on clinical examination and neck CT scan. Lost sight, she reappeared 13 months later presenting a neck fistulization and pendulous pedicled cervical mass with a peri-pedicular oozing orifice, posing the indication of an enlarged total lumpectomy which was performed under general anesthesia. The evolution was marked by complete post-operative healing. teratomas are most often intragonadal. The cervical form of adult person is exceptional and can be confused with a thyroid tumor. That could be a source of diagnostic difficulties and therapeutic delay. cervical masses can be indicative of various types of pathology therefore we must think at all in front of this one.

颈部畸胎瘤：非典型病例报告及文献复习。

畸胎瘤是由原始性腺生殖细胞发展而来的围产期肿瘤。宫颈定位非常罕见，存在诊断错误的风险。我们报告一例18岁的女性患者没有任何病理史收到的前颈椎肿胀，已经发展约12个月前。肿块在触诊和吞咽时可移动，临床检查和颈部CT扫描显示为结节性甲状腺肿。失去视力，13个月后再次出现颈部瘘和下垂的有椎弓根的颈部肿块伴椎弓根周围渗出口，提示在全身麻醉下行乳房肿物全切除术。进展的特点是术后完全愈合。畸胎瘤最常发生在脐内。成人的宫颈形式是例外的，可与甲状腺肿瘤混淆。这可能是诊断困难和治疗延误的一个来源。宫颈肿块可能是各种病理类型的指示，因此我们必须考虑到这一点。
