The imaging findings of the mass was characteristic of retroperitoneal teratoma which was confirmed by histopathology report following complete excision. Retroperitoneal tumor is an uncommon tumor in children with characteristic imaging findings. Computed tomography is mainly used to evaluate the extent of the disease.
