Abstract
Teratomas are germ cell tumors consisting of derivatives of 3 germ layers and havingvarious malignant potential – from benign mature forms to immature embryonic and forms with somatic type of malignancy.
This article describes the clinical caseof rare localization of mature teratoma – retroperitoneal space, aswell asan example of multidisciplinary interaction of clinicians, radiation diagnosticians and pathomorphologists in correct preoperative diagnosis using computed tomography, successful surgical treatment and histological verification of extraorgan teratoma of the retroperitoneal space.
