## Abstract
Teratoma is a rare condition but represents the most common germ cell tumor in pediatric patients. Ovarian germ cell tumors account for approximately 27% of cases, while mesenteric teratomas are extremely uncommon, compris-ing only 1%. Early recognition is essential to ensure appropriate management and reduce morbidity and mortality. We report two pediatric cases presenting with abdominal enlargement. The first case involved a 6-year-old girl with a large abdominal mass and elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level. Imaging revealed a well-defined cystic lesion with solid components and calcifications in the right ovary. She underwent right oophorectomy, and histopathology confirmed an immature teratoma. The second case involved a 15-year-old girl with a large heterogeneous abdominal mass and normal AFP levels. Complete surgical resection was performed, and histopathology confirmed a mature teratoma. Clinical examination, imaging, and serum markers are essential for diagnosis, while complete surgical resection r
