“…Chronic granulomatous peritonitis can result from spillage during operative procedures [ 12 ]. Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for approximately 90% of mature teratomas and 1%-2% of dermoid cyst malignancies, with infection-related cases only 1% [ 4 ]. Ultrasound is a highly useful noninvasive method for diagnosing ovarian cysts, with magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography scans being alternative options.…”

“…These tumors are distinguished by their slow growth and benign embryonal nature, marking them as the most prevalent germinative ovarian tumors in females of reproductive age. Their origin can be traced back to the entrapment of ectodermal components during closure processes [4]. The composition of mature cystic teratomas encompasses adult ecto-/endo-/mesodermal tissue, encompassing diverse elements such as the teeth, skin, fat, hair, muscle, and even brain and thyroid tissues [2][3][4][5].…”

Mature teratomas, also known as ovarian dermoid cysts, are benign embryonal tumors that develop slowly. One of the following imaging techniques is commonly employed to evaluate these cysts: transvaginal ultrasound, pelvic ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, or computed tomography. The two surgical methods most frequently used for removing persistent or very large cysts are laparoscopy and laparotomy. A 42-year-old female, who is P3L1D2 with a history of previous cesarean section, presented with an abdominal mass that had been gradually increasing in size over the past five months. She also reported lower abdominal pain for the last five days. Upon further evaluation, she was diagnosed with a left ovarian dermoid cyst. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, during which a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. The cut section of the gross cyst specimen revealed abundant sebaceous fluid and a large tuft of hair, which was confirmed by histopathology. The patient was followed up every three months for a year. Ovarian tumors typically manifest with nonspecific symptoms. The early recognition of dermoid cysts and prompt intervention are crucial to prevent potential complications.

Ovarian dermoid cysts or mature cystic teratomas are benign ovarian germ cell tumours most seen in the 3rd and 4th decades of life. These tumours contain tissue from the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. Haemorrhagic ovarian cysts occur when blood accumulates in a corpus luteum or follicular cyst. Ovarian torsion involves the twisting of an ovary on its ligamentous attachments reducing its blood supply. A 22-year-old unmarried nulligravida presented with sudden, severe right lower abdominal pain and vomiting. Ultrasound (USG) and other investigations were performed. Elevated CA 19-9 levels raised concerns about malignancy. Differential diagnoses included gastrointestinal cancers, appendicitis with secondary ovarian involvement, ruptured ovarian cyst and ovarian torsion with a cystic mass. USG showed a right ovarian dermoid cyst measuring 5.1 x 4.3cm with partial torsion and a left haemorrhagic cyst measuring 3.1 x 8cm. The patient underwent laparoscopic right oophorectomy and left cystectomy under spinal anaesthesia. Tumour markers (CA 125, AFP, β-hcg, LDH and CEA) were normal. Histopathology confirmed a benign ovarian dermoid cyst, ruling out malignancy. The occurrence of Ovarian dermoid cyst is less than 20%, ovarian torsion occurs in 15% of these cases. Haemorrhagic ovarian cysts occur in about 5-10% of ovarian cysts. Ca 19-9 is raised in GI malignancies and conditions. In ovarian pathologies, it is not well documented and relatively rare. This case underscores the importance of rapid diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach and intervention in rare ovarian conditions, especially in young women where fertility preservation is crucial.
