[Thyroid teratoma in adults].
A new case of thyroid teratoma is reported in an adult and the heighten other cases of the literature are reviewed. This pathology, rather frequent and always benign in infants, is distinguished in adults by a malignant metastatic course for 14 cases of 19. The reported case, the second one in a male adult, remains a benign one after 14 years.
