Only a few case reports have been documented in the literature so far. We report a mature cystic retroperitoneal teratoma in the region of left adrenal gland in an asymptomatic 75-year-old male patient. It was incidentally found on an abdominal computed tomography scan and was thought to be an adrenal adenoma. Because of its relatively large size and the patient\u2019s request, he underwent a laparoscopic left adrenalectomy. Histopathological examination revealed a benign mature cystic retroperitoneal teratoma in the region of the left adrenal gland. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and is free of recurrence after 20\u00a0months of follow-up. Considering the diagnostic difficulty of retroperitoneal teratoma by radiologic imaging, and its risk of malignancy, surgical resection via a minimally invasive approach would be the best diagnostic and therapeutic option. A literature review on teratomas is included.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjaa451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,10]],"date-time":"2020-10-10T04:28:09Z","timestamp":1602304089000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Retroperitoneal mature cystic teratoma involving the left adrenal gland in a 75-year-old male: a case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2677-3736","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Tojal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu, Viseu, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nat\u00e1lia","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu, Viseu, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Vicente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu, Viseu, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noel","family":"Carrilho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu, Viseu, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Casimiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu, Viseu, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020112413063571600_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/S0147-0272(85)80031-3","article-title":"Teratomas in infancy and childhood","volume":"9","author":"Grosfeld","year":"1985","journal-title":"Curr Probl Cancer"},{"key":"2020112413063571600_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"59","DOI":"10.1385\/EP:13:1:59","article-title":"Mature cystic teratoma involving adrenal gland","volume":"13","author":"Bedri","year":"2002","journal-title":"Endocr Pathol"},{"key":"2020112413063571600_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107","DOI":"10.1002\/jso.20043","article-title":"Primary retroperitoneal teratomas: a review of the literature","volume":"86","author":"Gatcombe","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Surg Oncol"},{"key":"2020112413063571600_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"318","DOI":"10.1186\/s12957-015-0734-z","article-title":"Laparoscopic resection of a huge mature cystic teratoma of the right adrenal gland through retroperitoneal approach: a case report and literature review","volume":"13","author":"Li","year":"2015","journal-title":"World J Surg Oncol"},{"key":"2020112413063571600_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1292","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.156.6.2028883","article-title":"General diagnosis case of the day.
