“…Although thyroid tissue is seen in 5-20% of mature cystic teratomas, the term struma ovarii should be used only for tumours entirely composed of thyroid tissue or predominant part of the tumour. 17 It comprises of about 3% of ovarian teratomas and shows similar age distribution.…”

Background: Teratomas are quite often seen in the gonadal region. As compared to gonadal teratoma extragonadal teratomas are very rare. They can be mature, immature, malignant or mixed germ cell tumor. Many a times they are missed clinically because of their rare locations that include retroperitoneum, sacrococcygeal, mediastinum, thyroid, eye, ear, and mesentery. In such locations the list of clinical differentials is long and it is difficult for the clinicians to make an accurate clinical diagnosis. Aims of the study were: to identify the different locations of extragonadal teratoma, to know the histological types of teratoma in different location, and to correlate histopathological diagnosis and clinico-radiological diagnosis. Methods: It is an observational descriptive study of histopathologically proven teratomas over a span of 2 years from July 2021 to July 2023. Results: Out of total 35 cases of teratomas, we had received 14 cases of extragonadal teratomas. The most common sites being sacrococcygeal region. They were most common in the paediatrics age group and most common sex involvement was of male. Conclusions: While interpreting the histopathological findings, a high index of suspicion for teratomas needs to be kept even if the site is not a gonadal location. Simple excision is a cure for this condition or else it may transform to malignancy.

: Teratoma, originating from the Greek word "teras" meaning "monster," reflects its diverse tissue composition, often containing ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal tissues. These embryonic germ layers contribute to the rarity of teratomas in the neck, though they are more commonly found in the sacrococcygeal area. Notably, teratomas occurring in the cervical region can lead to life-threatening symptoms due to their mass effect.: A 26-year-old multiparous woman highlighted the challenges of managing cervical teratomas. During her 38th week of gestation, an ultrasound revealed a tumour on the foetus's neck, measuring 5.2 x 4.7 cm with doppler, neovascularization, and solid parts suspected to be a teratoma. The patient, despite no prior illness, had not taken prescribed vitamins during pregnancy. She underwent a caesarean section, delivering a baby girl weighing 3100 grams with an Apgar score of 8, who was found to have a solid mass in the posterior neck. The baby underwent surgery three days later, where 200-gram mass was removed and identified as a mature teratoma through anatomical pathology examination. The successful surgery allowed the mother and baby to return home in good condition.: Teratomas emphasized their diverse nature, with cervical teratomas mostly affecting females and originating from early aberrant germ cells. These tumours, often neuroepithelial, rarely become malignant. Diagnosis involves prenatal ultrasonography, aiding in intervention planning, while postnatal imaging guides surgical approaches.: Congenital teratomas pose challenges in prenatal diagnosis and management, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Early detection through antenatal imaging, surgical excision, and meticulous follow-up are crucial for optimal outcomes, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive care and collaboration across medical specialties.
