Main Article Content
We present the case of a male 2-year-old patient who underwent surgery for a 13-cm-long liver teratoma that caused elongation of the common hepatic duct and the portal vein. The boy had an abdominal mass and abdominal distension with pain of mild intensity. Abdominal computed tomography and abdominal nuclear magnetic resonance reported a predominantly cystic expansive liver lesion with some internal solid components. The case was evaluated and surgical intervention was decided, performing a right hepatectomy and biliodigestive derivation due to elongation and compromise of the common bile duct. Primary mature liver teratoma is a rare tumor in population with a higher incidence in children, so it should be suspected in all patients with solid liver tumors that do not present with high AFP values.
