Abstract
Teratomas are the germ cell tumors which comprises of tissues from all the three germ cell layers (1). Primary retroperitoneal teratoma is a relatively rare tumour in adults. The primary retroperitoneal teratoma constitutes 6–11% of the retroperitoneal tumors. Sixty percent of the retroperitoneal teratomas occur in children less than 15 years. It occurs more commonly in females than males. The order of frequency for teratoma is ovary, testis, mediastinum and the retroperitoneum being the last. Early diagnosis and surgery are the mainstay of treatment. We present a rare case of a retroperitoneal tumor in a 29-year-old patient, which was treated successfully with surgical resection. A review of the current clinical literature on this topic supports our management of this case
