Abstract
Ovarian teratoma is a common neoplasm among women in their reproductive age . On the contrary, testicular teratoma is a rare tumor.(1,2) It usually app ears during infancy as a palpable scrotal mass. We report a case of mature teratoma of the right undescended testis diagnosed on the basis of prenatal ultrasonography. The ultrasonographic diagnostic features and clinical imp ortance will be discussed.
