Abstract:
Retroperitoneal teratoma is a rare congenital neoplasm derived from three germ layers and generally recognized as a disease of childhood. Those who were not operated on did not fare any better. The mortality from the disease was virtually 100%. Recently, we experienced a case of retroperitoneal teratoma.
