Intraabdominal mature cystic teratoma in a 20-year-old male: A rare case
Teratomas are the most prevalent type of germ cell tumors and usually display benign characteristics. Mature cystic teratomas consist of a varied mixture of mature tissue types that originate from squamous epithelium and skin adnexal structures. It is most commonly found in female gonads. A mature teratoma located in the abdomen of an adult male patient is exceptionally uncommon. In this case, we report a rare case of intra-abdominal mature cystic teratoma in an adult male.
