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