Primary retroperitoneal teratomas are uncommon extragonadal nonseminomatous germ cell tumors that are composed of well differentiated
parenchymal tissues which are derived from more than one of the three embryonic germ cell layers. Here we report an unusual and first of its
kind, a case of primary mature cystic retroperitoneal teratoma mimicking as adrenal tumor in a 7-month-old female in which the tumor was
predominantly composed of neurogenic tissue histologically which is unlike the usual pattern seen in the teratomas.
