Yonas Girma Shumiye et al. Urol Case Rep. .

Abstract

Teratomas are neoplasms commonly arising from the gonads. Kidney is one of the rare sites of origin of the tumor. Immature intra renal teratoma is even more rare and to date only 4 cases have been reported in the literature. We report a rare case of renal immature teratoma diagnosed in a 6 months old female patient, discuss its pathology and review relevant literature.

Keywords: Case report; Immature; Kidney; Teratoma.
