Abstract

Gastric teratoma (GT) is an exceeding rare lesion seen most often in male infants, comprising less than $1\%$ of all teratomas in children. A 2-day-old male child was preoperatively diagnosed to have gastric teratoma on ultrasonogram and abdominal computed tomography (CT). On laparotomy, Dumbbell- shape GT was located on lesser curvature of stomach and complete excision of the tumor was performed. The histological examination revealed immature teratoma of the stomach. The child is well 10 months after surgery.
