    AbstractWe report a case of a mature cystic teratoma of urinary bladder in a 17-year female, which is extremely rare. The patient presented with pain in suprapubic region for one year. On computerized tomography (CT) of abdomen and pelvis, a welldefined, enhancing heterogeneous soft tissue density lesion measuring 2.5x2.3x3 cm with mean density of 48 Hounsfield unit was found originating from the superior wall of the urinary bladder and projecting into the lumen. Cystoscopy showed a 2X2 cm growth containing concretions. Resection of the lesion was done with wide margin by transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Histopathological examination showed fragments of skin, sebaceous glands, fat and muscle cells, confirming mature cystic teratoma.
