Abstrakt:	Introduction: Teratoma is a germ cell tumor, deriving from totipotent cells. Teratomas usually occur in gonads and are rarely extra-gonadal. The adrenal location is exceptional. Only few cases of primary adrenal teratomas have been reported in literature, mainly in young patients. Case Report: We report the case of a 56-year-old female patient who presented with pyrosis, dyspepsia and abdominal pain that was evolving for 5 months. The abdominal computed tomography revealed a voluminous mass of the right adrenal gland and the hormonal evaluation was normal. The patient underwent an open transperitoneal adrenalectomy and the histopathological examination of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of mature teratoma. Discussion: Adrenal teratomas are commonly asymptomatic and their diagnosis depends mostly on radiologic findings. Malignant transformation is very rare. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment with a good prognosis. Conclusion: Open surgery should always be considered in large and adhering teratoma tumors of the adrenal gland. Some pathologic features and tumorigenesis of adrenal teratomas are not entirely elucidated, thus the importance of larger studies in order to comprehend this pathological entity. Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflicts of interest. (© 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of IJS Publishing Group Ltd.)
