Article Synopsis
- Teratomas are rare germ cell tumors that originate from totipotent stem cells, with retroperitoneal types being particularly uncommon and primary adrenal ones even more so, especially in kids.
- A nine-month-old girl had a growing abdomen, and imaging revealed a large mass near her right adrenal gland, which was confirmed as a mature adrenal teratoma after surgery.
- Diagnosing primary adrenal teratomas in children is challenging and heavily relies on imaging and pathology, highlighting the need to include them in differential diagnoses for adrenal masses in pediatric patients.
