Giant Calcified Retroperitoneal Teratoma

AbstractRetroperitoneal teratoma involving adrenal gland is a rare entity in adults comprising only 4% of all primary teratomas. These tumors are mainly seen in infants and children. Diagnosis is made by X-ray and CT abdomen showing the presence of large tumor with cystic and calcified walls. Here, we present an interesting image of a 16-year-old girl who presented with large (12  × 10 cm) calcified cyst occupying left side of abdomen which was treated successfully by surgical excision.
