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.
