“…3 Although mature ovarian teratomas are often seen in young women, their cancerization occurs preferentially in menopausal or peri-menopausal women with an average age of 54 years, as is the case with the case patients. 1,4 The radiological diagnosis of the dermoid cyst is quite easy, but malignant degeneration is difficult to predict. However, it is evoked behind the advanced age of the woman (55 years against 37.5 years for benign mature teratoma), the size of the tumor (on average 152 mm against 88 for benign teratomas), the presence of an important tissue component inside the cyst and the existence of an extension towards the neighboring organs.…”

The malignant degeneration of mature ovarian teratomas is a rare phenomenon. Case reported two cases of squamous cell carcinoma developed on mature teratoma of the ovary in patients aged 54 and 41 who were seen for chronic pelvic pain. Their pelvic ultrasound showed cystic double-component images with sizes of 103 and 95 mm respectively suggestive of dermoid cysts, and the anatomopathological study of the pieces of adnexectomy confirmed the diagnosis. Although no clinical, radiological or biological signs are specific, ovarian dermal cyst degeneration is suspected in the presence of a large dermoid cyst in a postmenopausal or peri-menopausal woman. The careful anatomo-pathological study of the cyst in this case makes it possible to pose the diagnosis of certainty. A rare complication of the dermoid cyst, its prognosis is pejorative and depends mainly on its clinical stage at the time of diagnosis and the quality of its surgical treatment which must be as radical as possible.

The cancerous teratoma of the ovary is a rare entity. We report the case of a 57-year-old woman post menauposal with malignant transformation of ovarian mature teratoma who was treated in the gynecology and medical oncology departments of CHU HASSAN II in Fez. The patient underwent bilateral adnexectomy and a total hysterectomy with omentectomy. The evolution was marked by the appearance of carcinomatosis nodules postoperatively. She received chemotherapy with platinum and taxanes .she had complete remission after 6 cycles and has remained under good control at present.
