Metastatic testicular retroperitoneal teratoma in an adult: Case report
1King Fahad Hospital of the University, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University College of Medicine, Department of Surgery, Saudi Arabia; Almaan General Hospital, Saudi Arabia.
Introduction:
Teratomas are bizarre neoplasms derived from embryonic tissues typically found in the gonads and sacrococcygeal tissues of adults.
Case Presentation:
We report a case of histologically proven metastatic teratoma with an unusual presentation. The 32-year old male patient had a retroperitoneal tumour detected on computed tomography during the workup of abdominal pain.
Discussion:
Retroperitoneal teratomas are uncommon and a challenge to manage. Differential diagnoses could be a dilemma without a thorough history and a high index of suspicion.
Conclusions:
Recurrent metastatic teratoma is one of the rare differential diagnoses of any retroperitoneal mass and can present years after complete resection of the primary tumour.
