[A case of retrovesical tumor].
A 53-year-old man was admitted with complaint of left lower abdominal pain. Retrovesical tumor was suggested after digital examination and imaging diagnosis. At operation, the encapsulated tumor occupied the retrovesical space, but was not adhered to the adjacent organs such as prostate, seminal vesicles, bladder and rectum. The entire tumor was successfully resected. Histopathological report revealed a mature teratoma. He is alive without recurrence at 1 year after operation. This is the second case of retrovesical teratoma in the Japanese literature.
