Abstract

Retroperitoneal teratoma (RPT) is an exceedingly rare neoplasm in infancy. We came across a 3-month-old infant with large RPT in the left suprarenal area. The tumor was completely excised, and the patient was successfully discharged. Histopathological examination suggested the diagnosis of mature cystic teratoma.

Keywords
