At 24 weeks of gestation, an intracranial cystic lesion of 3 cm diameter, without further associated foetal malformations, was detected by ultrasound in a 25-year old nullipara prima gravida, during routine prenatal care. Within 5 weeks, the cystic mass developed into a predominantly solid tumour located at the 3rd ventricle, showing patterns of a rapidly growing malignant intracerebral process. At 29 weeks of gestation, pregnancy was terminated by sectio parva because of a progressive hydrocephalus with a biparietal diameter of 10.2 cm. Autopsy confirmed a malignant teratoma. Foetal intracranial teratomas are rare. Diagnosis and therapy should be carried out in perinatal centres.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D013724 Teratoma A true neoplasm composed of a number of different types of tissue, none of which is native to the area in which it occurs. It is composed of tissues that are derived from three germinal layers, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. They are classified histologically as mature (benign) or immature (malignant).
