Figure 1 Computed tomography scan of the abdomen. A: Axial enhanced computed tomography image demonstrated a multiseptated cystic tumor (arrow) in the retroperitoneal region, adhering to the duodenum and close to the abdominal aorta and left renal vein; B: coronal enhanced computed tomography reconstruction demonstrating a tumor close to the abdominal aorta (arrow).

Figure 2 Histopathological findings (hematoxylin-eosin staining, magnification ×100). A: Teratoma located between the inner circular and the outer longitudinal layers of the duodenal muscularis propria (arrow) and communicate with the normal duodenal mucosa (arrowhead); B: the tumor consists of stratified squamous cell epithelium, simple cuboidal epithelium, and irregular bundles of smooth muscle, fat and hyaline cartilage.
