A Rare Adrenal Mass in a 3-Month-Old: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract EN

A three-month-old female infant presented with abdominal distention for 2 months.

A large palpable mass in right upper quadrant was noted on physical exam.

Abdominal ultrasound revealed a large heterogeneous mass with multiple cystic components.

Mass was surgically excised and pathology was consistent with mature adrenal teratoma.

Teratoma is a germ cell tumor mainly found in gonadal tissues.

Occurrence of adrenal gland teratoma in children is very rare with less than 10 pediatric case reports in English literature.

We present a rare case of primary adrenal tumor in an infant and a review of the literature.
