Abstract
Among mesenchymal neoplasms of Adrenal cortex, Myelolipoma constitutes the most common neoplasm that often diagnosed in patients in their fifth to seventh decade of life. Whereas Teratoma in retroperitoneal location, in Adrenal gland is rare. We present a case of 27year old woman who presented with pain abdomen, found to have a left adrenal mass. On imaging left adrenal mass had defined boundaries and fat predominant component with likely diagnosis of Myelolipoma. She underwent laparoscopic Adrenalectomy with histopathological diagnosis of Benign cystic teratoma. Primary adrenal teratomas are rare neoplasms, more commonly involving left adrenal gland. They are generally amenable to laparoscopic resection and have favorable prognosis.
