Abstract

Introduction: Teratomas are germ cell neoplasms arising from the totipotent stem cells. Retroperitoneal teratomas are very rare, accounting for about 5 % of all teratomas of those, primary adrenal ones are exceedingly rare, with few cases reported in the English literature in pediatric age group.

Case presentation: A nine-month-old female presented with a two-month history of gradually increasing abdominal distention, her physical examination revealed a palpable large abdominal mass. Abdominal CT imaging showed a right suprarenal heterogeneous mass. Oncological resection was performed, and histopathology confirmed a primary mature adrenal teratoma.

Discussion: The diagnosis of primary adrenal teratoma is usually challenging and relies predominantly on imaging studies, and histopathological finding.

Conclusion: Primary adrenal teratoma is extremely rare in pediatric age group, and present a significant diagnostic challenge, as a result it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric patients with adrenal masses.

婴儿原发性肾上腺畸胎瘤:病例报告和文献综述。
简介畸胎瘤是由全能干细胞产生的生殖细胞肿瘤。腹膜后畸胎瘤非常罕见,约占所有畸胎瘤的 5%,其中原发性肾上腺畸胎瘤极为罕见,英文文献中关于儿科年龄组的病例报道很少:一名九个月大的女性患者因腹胀逐渐加重两个月前来就诊,体格检查显示其腹部可触及巨大肿块。腹部 CT 成像显示为右肾上异型肿块。进行了肿瘤切除术,组织病理学证实为原发性成熟肾上腺畸胎瘤:讨论:原发性肾上腺畸胎瘤的诊断通常具有挑战性,主要依赖于影像学检查和组织病理学发现:结论:原发性肾上腺畸胎瘤在儿童年龄组中极为罕见,在诊断上具有很大的挑战性,因此应在肾上腺肿块儿童患者的鉴别诊断中予以考虑。
