Abstract
Growing teratoma syndrome is a rare entity of tumors, it arises seldomly from ovarian and testicular carcinoma. It presents with disseminating masses of mature teratoma during or following chemotherapy of malignant germ cell tumors. We are reporting a 19-year old presented with recurrent left ovarian mass and supra renal large mass close to the porta hepatis was seen on magnetic resonance imaging. This patient was treated 3 years ago for stage I immature teratoma with left ovarian cystectomy and chemotherapy. Surgical excision of the left ovary and the abdominal mass required meticulous dissection, and the mass was shaved off the porta hepatis with no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Pathology showed mature teratoma. She has no recurrent 5 years after treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing close relation of growing teratoma syndrome to the porta hepatis, no such case report like this has been reported in our region.
