Abstract

Teratomas are tumors of germ-cell origin, composed of tissues derived from all three germinal layers: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. Most teratomas have been reported to arise at sites that are midline or paraxial, with the penis being an unusual location for this tumor. The treatment for most pure teratomas is surgical resection. We report a case of primary teratoma of the penis in a 3-month-old child. This is the second reported case of a primary teratoma of the penis and the first in a child.
