Özet

Teratomas are childhood tumours especially notable for their diversity of anatomic locations and biological behaviour. We present an extremely rare occurrence of a lumbar teratoma with intraspinal extension. The importance of thorough preoperative evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging for tumours in this location is also emphasised.
