Infertility: CASE REPORT: Acute abdomen following dermoid cyst rupture during transvaginal ultrasonographically guided retrieval of oocytes

Background: Ovarian dermoid cyst is a benign congenital tumor. It is often incidentally diagnosed and can be revealed in very rare cases by spontaneous rupture. We report the case of a ruptured ovarian dermal cyst complicated by generalized peritonitis. Case report: This was a 20-year-old female patient, who consulted for abdominal pain associated with fever and vomiting. Physical examination found generalized abdominal contracture. Plain abdominal radiography found pneumoperitoneum. Biology showed leukocytosis at 18000 / mm3. Median laparotomy revealed a collection 2000 cc of pus with a ruptured right ovarian mass. An adnexectomy with lavage of abdominal cavity were performed. Anatomopathological examination concluded to an ovarian dermoid cyst with no sign of malignancy. The postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion: Rupture of a dermoid cyst of the ovary is a rare acute complication. Examination of the operative specimen is mandatory to eliminate malignancy.

Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma

Keratin granulomas in the peritoneum are a rare finding with multiple etiologies and can be especially challenging for both the pathologist and the surgeon when these lesions are grossly visible. We report a case of a unique frozen section diagnostic scenario of evaluation of keratin granulomas in the peritoneum of a 47-year-old woman in the setting of multiple potential culprits: endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma following fertility sparing treatment, and a concurrent dermoid cyst. We discuss the various etiologies of keratin granulomas in the peritoneum, mechanism of their formation, diagnostic significance, as well as implications of fertility sparing treatments. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only case of keratin granulomas in the peritoneum with multiple distinct potential pathologic culprits as well the only case following fertility sparing treatment.
