title: Hepatoduodenal ligament teratoma with hepatic artery running inside.
abstract: Teratoma in infants and children is not particularly rare. However, the teratoma in the hepatoduodenal ligament is extremely rare and the surgical treatment is challenging because of its anatomical complexity. We could find only six cases in the literature. In this report, we present the seventh case with special reference to the operative technique to save the hepatic artery for resection of the tumor using intraoperative ultrasonography.
