Publication A Neonate with Retroperitoneal Mature Cystic Teratoma – A Case Report(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2022) Joshi, Jayateertha; Mushtaq, Owais Ahmed; Sayashi Roy,; Rao, Suchetha S.Abstract: Retroperitoneal teratoma is a rare occurrence in neonates. They are usually asymptomatic and the only finding may be abdominal distension. We report an unusual case of a large retroperitoneal teratoma in a neonate who presented with abdominal distension. Imaging done showed a cystic lesion with calcifications, internal septations and fat dense areas. It was successfully managed by surgical excision, findings of which were consistent with that of a mature cystic teratoma. Despite being rare, we must consider retroperitoneal teratomas as a differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass in a newborn. Early detection and complete surgical excision may be life-saving.
