- Primary carcinoid tumor of the kidney is a rare disease. Moreover, primary carcinoid tumor arising in a mature teratoma of the kidney is extremely rare; only four cases have been reported in the literature to date. We report here on a case of primary renal carcinoid tumor, with the radiologic findings, occurring in a mature teratoma.
