Abstract

Teratomas comprise of three germ layers. Mature cystic teratomas are the most common among them. Due to cystic and solid components the radiological presentation varies. Even today surgical resection is the treatment of choice for mature teratoma. We share the case of a 17-year old girl with massive abdominal distension; subsequently diagnosed with mature teratoma.
