Germ cell tumors are the most common malignancy in men aged 15-35 years old, with a small percentage presenting in an extragonadal location. These tumors are seldom identified in the gastrointestinal tract. There is increased risk of extragonadal germ cell tumors (EGCT) in men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS). We report a rare case of a 37-year-old male with KS and EGCT discovered in the duodenum and pelvis. After treatment with Bleomycin-Etoposide-Cisplatin (BEP), he developed growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) and myelodysplasia. Despite surgical excision of the pelvic growing teratoma, he unfortunately died secondary to complications of severe bone marrow suppression.

“…When retroperitoneal teratomas do occur, they are often located near the upper pole of the kidney, with preponderance on the left side. Although these tumors are mostly asymptomatic, they can cause abdominal distension and pain, as well as nausea and vomiting due to compression of surrounding structures [3] . The diagnosis of retroperitoneal teratoma often can be made on the basis of radiologic imaging.…”

“…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]. The imaging is the gold standard of diagnosis of a retroperitoneal teratoma [12].…”

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.
