Prenatal diagnosis of a cervical teratoma with a cytogenetic study

Περίληψη:
We describe a cervical teratoma revealed in the prenatal period that was
studied cytogenetically. We were recently confronted with the case of a
fetal solid neck mass suggestive of a teratoma. After termination of
pregnancy the tumor was studied cytogenetically. This is the first case
in the recent literature where a clone of cells with an additional
chromosome marker has been detected. Cytogenetic study of the fetal
blood in addition to cytogenetic study of the tumor after the
termination of pregnancy showed the karyotypes 46,XY and 46,XY/47,XY +
m, respectively. Fetal cervical teratoma is a rare condition. Genetic
investigation in the case should be considered in order to reveal
chromosome rearrangements.
