Primary adult retroperitoneal teratomas are rare and demand challenging management options. We report a case of a unilateral primary retroperitoneal mature cystic teratoma mimicking an adrenal mass in a 28-year-old female patient. Complete resection of the mass was performed by a laparotomy approach. Because of the risk of malignancy, follow-up radiographic studies were performed to ensure the oncologic efficacy of resection. The patient remains free of recurrence to date.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/930538
