Teratomas are germinal cell tumors, affecting mainly patients of the pediatric population. The Spinal topography and the age of presentation; are extremely rare parameters in this case. This report is about an adult male, who presented intestinal transit disorders and lower limb weakness for two weeks. The radiological investigation revealed an intramedullary spinal tumor at the level of the conus medullaris. After surgical resection, the histological studies were concomitant with a mature teratoma. We analyzed all the characteristics of the case and we presented a brief review of the literature about similar cases.
