Gastric teratomas are rare pediatric tumors, typically affecting males. This report details a rare case in a female child, highlighting the importance of complete surgical removal for a favorable outcome in gastric teratoma cases.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Gastric teratomas are exceptionally rare pediatric neoplasms, constituting less than 1% of all childhood teratomas.
  • These tumors predominantly affect the pediatric male population, with female occurrences being exceedingly uncommon in medical literature.

Observation:

  • This case report presents a rare instance of a gastric teratoma in a pediatric female patient.
  • The tumor exhibited a dual growth pattern, presenting as both an exophytic (outwardly growing) and endophytic (inwardly growing) mass within the stomach.

Findings:

  • Gastric teratomas, regardless of their histological classification as benign or malignant, demonstrate a positive prognosis following complete surgical excision.
  • The successful resection of this gastric teratoma in a female patient contributes valuable data to the limited existing literature on this demographic.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering gastric teratomas in the differential diagnosis of pediatric abdominal masses, even in female patients.
  • Complete surgical excision remains the cornerstone of treatment, offering a favorable prognosis for pediatric gastric teratomas.
  • Further research into the specific characteristics and potential etiologies of gastric teratomas in female children may be warranted.
