Prenatal diagnosis and management of a fetal intra-abdominal teratoma: a case report and review of the literature.
We report on a case of a large intra-abdominal teratoma diagnosed antenatally and managed successfully after birth. Intra-abdominal teratomas are rare in prenatal life. Ultrasound examination shows a heterogenic tumor with cystic and solid components. After postpartum surgical removal, the prognosis is generally good.
