Intra renal teratoma is an extremely rare tumor. Only few cases have been published in the literature. In its renal location, the diagnosis of teratoma is rarely mentioned preoperatively since its clinical and radiological signs are not very specific, the final diagnosis is often confirmed by the pathological study. We report the case of a cystic intra renal teratoma in a three-month-old infant who underwent an enlarged nephrectomy with pathologic confirmation of the diagnosis. Surgery is the treatment of choice for intrarenal teratoma. It is usually not sensitive to chemotherapy, so this diagnosis should always be borne in mind in front of a cystic kidney mass in order to avoid chemotherapy that is harmful to these young patients.
