Teratomas are neoplasms commonly arising from the gonads. Kidney is one of the rare sites of origin of the tumor. Immature intra renal teratoma is even more rare and to date only 4 cases have been reported in the literature. We report a rare case of renal immature teratoma diagnosed in a 6 months old female patient, discuss its pathology and review relevant literature.

Background In 2015, Ethiopia designated rabies as a priority zoonotic disease. Challenges in rabies diagnostic capacity, including laboratory safety, were identified in 2016. As a pilot evaluation, the national rabies laboratory in Ethiopia (EPHI) was chosen to participate in an evaluation of necropsy laboratory facilities and procedures which was conducted over two years. This evaluation identified areas for improvement that strengthening would enhance safety in the laboratory environment. Process changes, specifically in cleaning procedures, will decrease the likelihood of cross contamination and improve precision of testing. Methods This evaluation consisted of two sections: a 38-question verbal interview and an observational evaluation of necropsy laboratory practice. In March 2018, we evaluated EPHI's laboratory biosafety procedures, and the laboratory technicians' knowledge, practices, and attitudes in the animal necropsy laboratory before CDC-led laboratory trainings (September and December 2018). A post-training evaluation was conducted in March 2019.
