Portal teratoma causing obstructive jaundice in children: a rarity.

Teratoma in children is a common entity, usually occurring both in gonadal and extragonadal sites. Common extragonadal sites for teratoma in children are the sacrococcygeal region, retroperitoneum, and mediastinum. Various unusual extragonadal sites have been reported. However, teratoma in the hepatoduodenal ligament is a very rare occurrence. We herein report a case of a mature teratoma in the hepatoduodenal ligament in an 11-year-old child presenting with obstructive jaundice along with its surgical management and review of the literature.
