title: [Mature mesenteric teratoma in an adult male. A case report].
abstract: Mesenteric teratoma matures in adulthood are extremely rare. The spectrum of differential diagnosis for intra-abdominal cystic lesions in male patients is limited and its occurrence is less than in female counterparts, being so a diagnostic problem for daily medical practice. The purpose of this study is to present this entity as an infrequent tumor, which can become a diagnostic challenge. Here we present a case of a mature teratoma occurring in the mesenteric root in a 50 year old man.
