Introduction: Extragonadal teratomas are uncommon tumors and are less common in adults than children. They are mostly retroperitoneal. Primary adrenal teratomas are even rarer. Objective: We report an unusual case of primary adrenal teratoma in a young adult. Case Summary: A 29 year old male presented with complains of intermittent right sided flank pain for 6 months, dull aching, radiating to groin. On CT Abdomen a large heterogenous mass was seen having predominantly fat component and punctuate calcification in right suprarenal region. Histopathology confirmed a diagnosis of adrenal teratoma. Conclusions: Adrenal teratomas are difficult to diagnose clinically or on imaging as these mimic other lipomatous lesions. Although rare this should be considered as a differential diagnosis for adrenal tumors.
