“…Some studies reported conflicting results [9], but the results that MCTs occur more on the right side are dominant [10,11,12]. In addition, they can be located at the midline and in paraxial regions of the body and unusual locations, including lungs or ilea [13]. In approximately 10-15% of cases, they are on both sides [14].…”

Mature cystic ovarian teratomas are ovarian tumors that are most common in reproductive age women. MCTs are benign germ cell tumors that arise from totipotent germ cells in the ovary. Endometriosis is also a common gynecologic disease affecting reproductive age women. Endometriosis is a progressive and chronic disease associated with inflammation, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. However, the pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of each disease are well known, but there is little information on the simultaneous occurrence of these two diseases. Therefore, the epidemiology, clinical symptoms, imaging, management, and the risk of malignant transformation of the coexistence of MCTs and endometriosis are discussed herein. PubMed and any reports of individuals with both MCTs and endometriosis were searched for all articles written in the English-language medical literature until May 2020. This review indicates that diagnosis and treatment of the coexistence of MCTs and endometriosis are more complicated when two diseases coexist than when only one disease exists. In conclusion, this comorbid conditions may not be as rare as it was previously thought. To understand and treat this complex condition, more studies are essential.

Teratomas are most frequent germ cell tumors of ovary with an incidence of 15%–20% of all ovarian neoplasm while endometriomas are present in 25.5%–45% of women with pelvic endometriosis. In spite of their increased individual incidence, association of cystic teratomas and ovarian endometriomas is extremely rare. Our case is that of a 33-year-old nulligravida who presented with heavy menstrual flow and pain during periods for last few months, ultrasonography revealed 74 × 57 mm mass in right adnexa-likely ovarian dermoid, enlarged left ovary with two small cysts of size 33 × 29 mm and 25 × 20 mm likely endometrioma, managed by laparoscopy, found to have left ovarian endometrioma of 6 × 6 cm and right ovarian dermoid cyst of 10 × 8 cm size, histopathology confirmed the same. This association of teratoma in one ovary and endometrioma in other ovary of same patient poses a surgical challenge, when it affects young and nulliparous women. Further follow up is mandatory for this simultaneous finding of ovarian endometriosis with coincidental dermoid cyst to assess ovarian reserve, recurrence of either of the cysts, and it also presents a challenge to clinicians to predict the post-operative course of such cases.
