Retroperitoneal teratoma in infancy is exceedingly rare. Progressive enlargement of the abdomen and the presence of an intra-abdominal mass is the most common clinical feature. They constitute third most frequent type of retroperitoneal neoplasm seen in infant and children after Wilm’s tumor and neuroblastoma. We report here a case of giant retroperitoneal teratoma in an infant. A 5 month old female child was admitted with complain of abdominal distension. Abdominal CT scan revealed a tumor suggestive of retroperitoneal teratoma. Intraoperative finding revealed that tumor was compressing the atrophic right kidney. Resection of tumor with right nephrectomy was done successfully. |
