Abstract

Introduction: A teratoma is a relatively common tumor of pediatric age group. But it rarely presents as a retroperitoneal mass. We encountered a case of Adrenal teratoma, a rare entity.
Case Presentation: An 11 years old boy presented with pain in right lumbar region. His examination was unremarkable. Work up showed a suprarenal mass that turned out to be an adrenal teratoma.
Conclusion: Adrenal teratomas may mimic adrenal cancers and should be considered a necessary differential, especially in children and adolescents.
