Abstract
A 45 year-old female presented with distention of abdomen since 6-8 months. Ultrasonography revealed a cystic mass with solid areas arising from ovary and was diagnosed as a dermoid cyst. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salphingo-ophorectomy was performed. Cut section of left cystic ovarian mass showed tuft of hairs seen as a ball and yellow pultaceous material. Also seen were solid grey-white areas. Histopathological study confirmed the findings of dermoid cyst and greywhite solid areas showed squamous cell carcinoma with areas of keratin material, lymphocytes and mitotic figures. The right ovary was normal. Post-operative period was uneventful.
