Abstract
The authors report the case of an 11-year-old, neurologically normal girl, followed since birth for lipomeningocele, who developed a malignant teratoma within the lymbosacral lesion and presented with metastases to the lungs and groin. This rare occurrence is discussed from an embryological and management viewpoint.Keywords
