Mature (Benign)‎ Cystic Retroperitoneal Teratoma Involving the Left Adrenal Gland in a 22-Year-Old Male : A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract EN

Primary retroperitoneal teratomas involving adrenal glands are exceedingly uncommon accounting for only 4% of all primary teratomas.

They are more common in childhood and rarely occur in adults.

Only a very few case reports have been documented in literature so far.

Herein, we report a mature (benign) cystic retroperitoneal teratoma in the region of left adrenal gland in a 22-year-old otherwise healthy male patient who presented with a 1-month history of left flank pain.

In addition, a literature review on teratomas is included.
