However, they rarely occur in adults. A 26-year-old woman presented with a growing intracranial mass lesion in the left sphenoid ridge without neurological deficits. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed homogenous hyperintensities without contrast enhancement. The patient underwent gross total excision of the soft, yellowish sphenoid ridge tumor with no cystic component. The surgery was uneventful, with no intraoperative complications. Histological analysis revealed a mature teratoma. She attended regular outpatient neuroradiology follow-up appointments. The present case is an unusual example of a mature teratoma with regard to location, neuroimaging ap-pearance, macroscopic intraoperative findings, histological tumor subtype, and patient age and sex.}, pages = {379--386}, title = {Rare sphenoid ridge intracranial mature teratoma in an adult female}, volume = {83}, year = {2021} }
