Abstract

We report a rare case of adenocarcinoma in retroperitoneal teratoma in a 38 year old female patient who attended surgical OPD with complaints of dragging pain and heaviness in left lumbar region. Straight x-ray abdomen showed few irregular calcifications in left lumbar region. USG and CT showed it to be adrenal tumor and retroperitoneal teratoma respectively. Excised specimen confirmed it as mucin secreting adenocarcinoma in a case of retroperitoneal teratoma.
