ResumoTeratomas são tumores embrionários benignos formados por diferentes tipos de tecidos derivados das três camadas germinativas, encontrados mais comumente nos ovários e testículos, principalmente em equinos e humanos. Relata-se um caso de teratoma ocorrido em um felino de três meses de idade, macho e sem raça definida. Clinicamente, o animal apresentava um aumento de volume de 13 x 7,0 x 4,0 cm de extensão de superfície lisa e áreas firmes e flutuantes na base da cauda, de crescimento progressivo, observado pelo proprietário desde o nascimento. Ao exame radiográfico da cauda foram observadas áreas radiopacas distribuídas de forma difusa em toda extensão da massa tumoral. O animal foi submetido à exérese da massa e o material foi encaminhado para o exame histopatológico onde foi diagnosticado teratoma. O animal recuperou-se do procedimento cirúrgico que é o único tratamento preconizado nesse caso.

It is reported a case of teratoma occurred in a cat of three months of age, male and mongrel. Clinically the animal showed increase of volume of 13 x 7.0 x 4.0 cm extension of smooth and firm and floating areas in the base of the tail, observed by owner from birth and progressive growth. In the radiographic examination of the tail were observed radiopaque areas diffusely distributed on the entire tumor mass. The animal was undergoing excision of the mass and the material was sent for histopathological examination which was diagnosed teratoma. The animal recovered from surgery, which is the only treatment recommended in this case.
