A Case of ruptured dermoid

ANANDHI R

Abstract


Teratomas are bizarre neoplasms derived from embryonic tissues that are typically found only in the gonadal and sacrococcygeal regions of adults. Retroperitoneal    teratomas are rare and present challenging management options. Rupture of retroperitoneal dermoid is a rare complication. We report here a rare case of a histologically  unusual extragonadal retroperitoneal dermoid in a male patient with rupture detected on computed tomography, MRI during the workup of abdominal pain.
