Immature gastric teratoma in an infant: a case report

Korean J Radiol. 2000 Oct-Dec;1(4):226-8. doi: 10.3348/kjr.2000.1.4.226.

Abstract

Gastric teratomas are extremely rare neoplasms and almost exclusively benign. They occur predominantly in males and generally present as a palpable abdominal mass. To our knowledge, only one adult case has been described in the Korean literature. We report a case in which an immature gastric teratoma in a 3-month-old boy was revealed by CT and US.
