They are common in reproductive age women. Teratomas in the thyroid occur mainly in neonates and are often benign. Here we report a case of primary benign teratoma of the thyroid gland in a 15-year-old female, which was accurately diagnosed by computed tomography before surgery. The tumor was a well-defined cystic mass in the right thyroid region, with a fat-containing nodule in the cystic tumor causing displacement of the trachea. The patient was treated with right subtotal thyroidectomy and no recurrence was noted during 2 years' follow-up. Demonstration of the fat component within a well-defined cystic mass in the thyroid region allows accurate diagnosis of teratoma, localization of the tumor extent before operation, and adequate treatment. |
