Ovarian Cystectomy for Huge Mature Cystic Teratoma Developed in Less than Five Years: A Case Report
Journal Title: Gynecology and Obstetrics Research – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Cystic ovarian teratomas, also known as dermoid cysts, are the most common benign ovarian germ cell tumors. They typically occur during reproductive age. Due to the readable accessibility to ultrasonography, the finding of large cystic teratomas over 10 cm is an unusual event. We report a huge mature ovarian cystic teratoma developed in less than five years and was successfully treated by cystectomy.
