Ovarian Dermoid Tumor perforating into the Urinary Bladder –A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Mature ovarian dermoid cysts are common lesions, accounting for up to 10–25% of all ovarian neoplasms. Uncomplicated dermoid cysts are often asymptomatic and are relatively easy to diagnose on imaging and to treat. Symptoms develop once complications set in and these may cause diagnostic dilemmas. Torsion (16%) is the most common complication, while rupture, suppuration and malignant transformation are relatively uncommon. Of all these complications, spontaneous rupture into the urinary bladder is least common. The diagnosis of this condition has been through the use of cystoscopy or laparotomy in all cases reported so far. We present a rare case of ovarian dermoid cyst perforating into the urinary bladder presenting with irritative lower urinary tract symptoms characterized by urgency, frequency, dysuria, poor urine stream, and the passage of hairs and seborrhoeic gravels through the urethra for last 7 years. A clear-cut imaging diagnosis helped to allow planning of surgery in advance and a mucosa-sparing partial bladder resection could be performed.
