Hepatic teratoma in an adult. Case report with a review of the literature.
Teratomas of the liver in adults are rare. We believe this to be only the fifth such case reported, the first with CT correlation and with plain film documentation of the development and slow progression of the lesion from age 44 to 61. A review of the literature regarding hepatic teratomas is appended.
