Abstract：
Teratomas are rare germ cell tumors derived from multiple germinal cell layers. Thyroid teratomas, specifically, are exceptionally uncommon and present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Here, we report a case of cervico-mediastinal thyroid teratoma, highlighting diagnostic difficulties and surgical management. A 37-year-old woman presented with right lateral cervical swelling, leading to radiological imaging suggesting a thymic teratoma. However, cytology indicated a colloid cyst. Surgical removal was performed, revealing a mixed-type teratoma originating from the thyroid gland. Thyroid teratomas pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their rarity and complex nature. Further research is needed to establish standardized guidelines for their management.
摘要：
畸胎瘤是源自多个生发细胞层的罕见生殖细胞肿瘤。甲状腺畸胎瘤,具体来说,异常罕见，并存在独特的诊断和治疗挑战。这里,我们报告一例颈纵隔甲状腺畸胎瘤,强调诊断困难和手术管理。一名37岁的女性表现为右侧颈椎肿胀，导致放射学成像提示胸腺畸胎瘤。然而,细胞学提示为胶体囊肿。进行了手术切除，发现起源于甲状腺的混合型畸胎瘤。甲状腺畸胎瘤由于其稀有性和复杂性而提出了诊断和治疗挑战。需要进一步研究以建立标准化的管理准则。
