Gastric teratomas, rare tumors, are typically benign and present as abdominal masses. This case highlights the diagnosis and successful treatment of a benign gastric teratoma in an infant.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Gastric teratomas are uncommon neoplasms, predominantly benign, often presenting as palpable abdominal masses.
  • Differential diagnosis must exclude aggressive solid tumors, necessitating accurate diagnostic approaches.
  • Early identification and management are crucial for favorable outcomes in infants.

Observation:

  • A 6-month-old male infant presented with symptoms of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Clinical examination revealed a palpable abdominal mass, prompting further investigation.
  • Diagnostic imaging was performed to characterize the abdominal mass.

Findings:

  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the mass as a benign gastric teratoma.
  • The tumor was completely excised (in toto excision).

  • The patient's condition post-surgery was favorable.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering benign gastric teratomas in infants with abdominal masses and GI bleeding.
    • Effective diagnostic strategies and surgical management lead to successful outcomes.
    • Further research into the etiology and optimal management of gastric teratomas is warranted.
