Mature retroperitoneal teratoma is a rare anatomopathological entity in adults. We report a case of retroperitoneal teratoma in a 23-year-old female patient. The clinical picture of the patient is represented by left lumbago. The clinical examination found an impaction of the left flank with an abdominal ultrasound and CT scan, a retroperitoneal tumor with a triple component (fluid, fat, and calcium) making the diagnosis of retroperitoneal teratoma. The treatment consisted of a total removal of the tumor. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of mature retroperitoneal teratoma with no sign of malignancy. The postoperative course was simple.
