Mature (Benign) Cystic Retroperitoneal Teratoma Involving the Left Adrenal Gland in a 22-Year-Old Male: A Case Report and Literature Review
Figure 2
Mature (benign) cystic retroperitoneal teratoma in the region of left adrenal gland. (a) Grossly, cut-section of the resected mass revealed multilocular cystic spaces, whitish-gray walls, scattered yellowish adipose tissues, mucus secretions, and areas of calcifications. (b) Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E stain), 20 magnification: a scanning magnification view of the lesion depicting its relationship with the adrenal cortex (open arrows). The lumen [L] is lined by respiratory columnar epithelium. (c) Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E stain), 40 magnification: a low magnification image of another cystic space lined by mucous-secreting epithelium (solid arrows). The wall is formed by cartilage tissues [C], fat (adipose) tissues [F], and salivary gland tissues (open arrows).
