Abstract
A primary retroperitoneal dermoid cyst (benign cystic teratoma) is described in a 64‐year‐old male, who died postoperatively of a leaking grafted abdominal aortic aneurysm. The asymptomatic tumor, measuring 12 cm in greatest diameter, showed an extensive sclerosing lipogranulomatous reaction in its wall and wide‐spread adhesions to the vital organs in the right hypochondrium. This patient is the oldest on record with such a lesion.
