RESUMEN
Los teratomas son tumores de origen embrionario asociados con mal pronóstico en cualquier etapa de la vida en que se presenten. Reportamos un caso recibido en el Departamento de Patología del Hospital Universitario San Ignacio feto femenino con masa tumoral en región submandibular derecha dependiente del lóbulo temporal cerebral derecho, con el cual se comunica a través del esfenoides ipsilateral. Histológicamente se diagnosticó teratoma inmaduro del sistema nervioso central. La mayor dificultad diagnóstica se presentó en la graduación de inmadurez, por corresponder a un feto, cuyos tejidos son, de por sí, inmaduros.
ABSTRACT
Teratomas are embyonic tumors associated with erroneous prognosis at any life stage. We report on a case from the Department of Pathology, San Ignacio University Hospital, Bogota a female fetus with tumoral mass in the right submandibular region within the right cerebral temporal lobule linked through the ipsilateral sphenoid. An immature teratoma of the central nervous system was histologically diagnosed. The major diagnostic difficulty encountered was determining degree of immaturity, due to the fact that fetal tissue is by definition immature.
