{Abstract}: Non-seminomatous germ cell tumors with structural components from all three cellular lineages are called teratomas. We report a rare case of a primary right adrenal teratoma in a postmenopausal female, presenting with abdominal pain. Ultrasound revealed a complex cystic shadow in the perihepatic region superior to the upper pole of the right kidney, which was suggestive of a complex supra-renal space-sequence-occupying lesion. Computerized tomography revealed a large-sized mature single multilobulated complex cystic lesion in the right hypochondrial lumbar region arising from the right adrenal gland. A right-sided transperitoneal adrenalectomy was performed. The resected mass (18 × 13 × 10 cm) was well encapsulated. Cut surfaces showed cystic mass filled with necrotic gray-white pultaceous material, along with a solid white gelatinous area. Microscopic sections showed a tumor which displayed differentiation along various tissue lineages. After immunohistochemical examinations, the tumor was confirmed to be a mature cystic teratoma. Mature teratomas show a good prognosis, and surgical resection and follow-up remain the standard approach.
