“…A mature teratoma is adult type lesion and consists of well differentiated elements, while an immature teratoma contains only partial somatic differentiated elements [9]. Although these tumors are mostly asymptomatic and may be diagnosed as an incidental finding, they can cause abdominal distension and pain, nausea vomiting and genitourinary symptoms via compression of surrounding structures [10], as well as lower extremity or genital edema secondary to lymphatic obstruction [11].…”

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. Case Report: Herein, we describe an unusual case of a 28-year-old male patient referred to our hospital for a retroperitoneal tumor diagnosed by computed tomography scan and confirmed by histological examination as a retroperitoneal teratoma. Surgical excision was performed. The patient is doing well after 26 months of follow-up. IJCRI publishes Review Conclusion:Primary retroperitoneal teratoma is a rare entity in adults. Preoperatively, the diagnosis can be established by its characteristic appearance on computed tomography scan. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment and the prognosis is excellent for benign retroperitoneal teratoma if complete resection can be accomplished.

“…A CT scan or MRI can identify various components of these tumors, including bone, soft-tissue density structures, adipose tissue,and sebaceous and serous-type fluids. These imaging studies also can display the precise location, morphology, and adjacent structures of the tumor, which provide better preoperative planning and increased likelihood of complete removal of the tumor with less iatrogenic damage [8]. A primary retroperitoneal mature cystic teratoma in a 54-yearold man is a rare phenomenon.…”

ÖzetTeratomlar genellikle yalnızca yetişkinlerin gonadal ve sakrokoksigeal bölgelerde bulunan embriyonik dokulardan elde edilen tuhaf tümörlerdir. Primer retroperitoneal teratom oldukça nadir ve tedavi yönetimleri oldukça zorludur. Biz 54 yaşında-ki erkek hastada adrenal kitleyi taklit eden tek taraflı primer retroperitoneal matür kistik teratom olgusunu sunuyoruz. Hastada kitle flank yaklaşımlı 11. kot rezeksiyonunu takiben tamamı rezeke edilerek çıkarıldı. Radyolojik çalışmalarda da görül-düğü gibi bu adrenal lojdaki kitle malignansi riski taşıdığı için ve onkolojik güven-lik ve etkinlik açısından tamamı rezeke edilerek çıkarıldı. Hastada 12. aydaki kontrolünde rekürrens saptanmadı. Anahtar KelimelerKistik Teratom; Adrenal Kitle; Erkek Hasta AbstractTeratomas are bizarre neoplasms derived from embryonic tissues that are typically found only in the gonadal and sacrococcygeal regions of adults. Primary retroperitoneal teratomas are rare and present challenging management options.We report a case of unilateral primary retroperitoneal mature cystic teratoma mimicking as an adrenal mass in 54-year-old male patient. Adrenal mass complete resection was performed by flank approach using the 11th rib resection.Because of the risk of malignancy, follow-up radiographic studies were performed to ensure the oncologic efficacy of resection. The patient has been free of recurrence for longer than 12 months.

“…The majority of cases are asymptomatic or associated with non-specific manifestations. The definitive diagnosis requires surgical excision of these lesions, with a curative intent in the case of mature (benign) teratoma (24). At the histopathological analysis, teratomas are easily recognized due to the mixture of mature components, including bone, squamous epithelium, glandular epithelium, stroma and muscle cells.…”

Detection and management of retroperitoneal cystic lesions: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract. The identification of cystic lesions within the retroperitoneal space is a rare event that poses clinicians the challenge of a difficult diagnosis and disease management. Retroperitoneal cystic lesions account for a group of lesions that range from common benign lesions (e.g., lymphoceles developing as a surgical complication) to rare aggressive malignant neoplasms. Currently, in the majority of cases, image-guided procedures allow for a pathological diagnosis to be achieved in these challenging lesions, thus offering the chance of an appropriate treatment; however, the overall clinical assessment of retroperitoneal cysts is highly demanding. The present study reports the management of a representative clinical case, presenting with a voluminous cystic mass able to dislocate cave vein, whose diagnosis was preceded by a deep vein thrombosis. Computed tomography-scan and ultrasound guided percutaneous drainage were performed to achieve the diagnosis. Following the discussion of the current case report, a review of the pathological and radiological characteristics of retroperitoneal cystic lesions is presented.
