The teratomas are derived neoplasms of totipotent embryonic cells and are extremely rare. We reported a Renal tumor on the right in a 36 years old patient, incidentally detected by imaging exams as a large and complex cystic lesion. Radical nephrectomy was performed with histopathological diagnosis of mature teratoma.

Retroperitoneal teratomas are rare neoplasms in neonates, presenting with nonspecific symptoms and variable clinical features, making diagnosis challenging. Radiological investigations, particularly fetal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, play a critical role in their detection. Differential diagnoses include neuroblastoma, adrenal hemorrhage, and congenital cystic lesions, which share overlapping clinical and imaging features.

Background: Malignant transformation (MT) of mature cystic teratoma (MCT) has a poor prognosis, especially in advanced cases. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) has an inhibitory effect on MT.
Case Summary: Herein, we present a case in which CCRT had a reduction effect preoperatively.

Horseshoe kidney is a rare congenital anomaly with an unusually higher frequency of neuroendocrine tumors. Symptoms are rare, and, in most of the cases, are incidentally diagnosed. The clinical behavior of these tumors is heterogeneous and can be difficult to predict based on histology alone.

- The case report details a rare occurrence of a postpubertal-type teratoma in a 48-year-old male, which appeared as a late recurrence of a previously diagnosed seminoma following testicular surgery six years earlier.
- Imaging tests showed a retroperitoneal tumor with unusual characteristics, leading to a biopsy that indicated a high-grade malignant tumor, prompting neoadjuvant chemotherapy that helped shrink the tumor before surgical removal.
- Further analysis revealed that the original seminoma diagnosis overlooked a mixed germ cell tumor component, underscoring the need for comprehensive histological evaluations in testicular germ cell tumors to better inform prognosis and treatment options.
Horseshoe kidney with teratoid type of Wilms tumor: a rare case report.
BMC Nephrol

Department of Hematology and Blood Transfusion Sciences, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- Horseshoe kidney is the most common renal fusion anomaly and can rarely be associated with Wilms tumor, the most common kidney cancer in children; a unique case involved a 5-year-old boy with a teratoid variant of Wilms tumor.
- The patient presented with a large, calcified mass in his horseshoe kidney, diagnosed as Wilms tumor, leading to neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery.
- Post-operative findings confirmed the teratoid type, highlighting the importance of recognizing rare renal anomalies and suggests that clinicians should remain vigilant for unusual presentations in pediatric renal tumors.
