Abstract:
Teratoma is a germ-cell tumour that is common in para-axial regions. Retroperitoneal teratoma is rare and comprise only about 1% of all teratomas. We present a 21-year-old female who presented with a lump in the abdomen. After radiological investigations, she was diagnosed as case of adrenal myelolipoma which on excision turned out histologically to be retroperitoneal teratoma. Our case highlights the limitation of radiological investigations in preoperative diagnosis of teratoma.
