Thyroid teratomas are typically benign in infants but often malignant in adults. This case highlights a rare benign adult thyroid teratoma, contrasting with the literature review.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Thyroid teratomas are rare germ cell tumors that can occur in various locations, including the thyroid gland.
  • While generally benign in pediatric populations, adult thyroid teratomas have a higher propensity for malignancy.

Observation:

  • A case of adult thyroid teratoma is presented, with a review of 19 previously reported adult cases.
  • The reported case is the second documented instance in a male adult.

Findings:

  • Malignant and metastatic behavior was observed in 14 out of 19 reviewed adult cases (73.7%).
  • The presented case of adult thyroid teratoma demonstrated a benign course over a 14-year follow-up period.
  • This contrasts with the generally observed malignant trend in adult thyroid teratomas.

Implications:

  • Adult thyroid teratomas require careful evaluation due to their potential for malignancy.
  • This case contributes to the understanding of the variable clinical behavior of thyroid teratomas in adults.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate factors influencing the prognosis of adult thyroid teratomas.
