Abstract

Background: Neurogenic monodermal teratomas (NMTs) have been reported in the ovaries but not from bone. Case Report: A 6-year-old girl had an incidentally discovered lesion in the right scapula. Upon removal, it was an NMT with predominant choroid plexus. The disease had not progressed for 31 months. Conclusion: Neurogenic monodermal teratomas can also occur in bone.

Keywords: Neurogenic; bone; child; monodermal teratoma; papillary tumor; scapula.
