Pathological aspects of a rare association of duodenal teratoma with exomphalos minor

Abstract

Teratomas are neoplasms, which are foreign to the anatomic site of occurrence. They occur in children, most commonly in sacrococcygeal region and gonads and less frequently at other sites. Teratomas of gastrointestinal tract are very rare. We report pathological aspects of an unusual case of teratoma having communication with the duodenum with exomphalos minor and malrotation of the intestine.
