Teratomas are germ cell tumors that arise from the derivatives of the three germ cell layers. They are categorized into subtypes by the extent of maturation, with mature teratomas being the most common subtype. While they can arise in various extragonadal regions, including the retroperitoneum, their occurrence in the retroperitoneal space is extremely rare.

Background: Fetus-in-fetu (FIF) is an exceedingly rare condition, characterized by a fetal-like or fetiform mass with a calcified vertebral axis surrounded by other organs or limbs. This systematic review was conducted to comprehensively analyze the clinicopathological attributes, management strategies, and prognosis of FIF to consolidate existing knowledge on FIF.
Methodology: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a comprehensive search was performed across various electronic databases, using the keywords "fetus-in-fetu," "fetus-ex-fetus," "homunculus," or "fetiform teratoma" to look for published articles until December 2023.
