We present a rare case of a woman with a mass containing soft tissue, fat, and calcified components attached to the fimbrial end of the left fallopian tube. A 38-year-old nulligravida woman who visited our clinic for infertility counseling had mild abdominal discomfort and a palpable mass in the lower abdomen. Multiple examinations were performed. Preoperatively, we considered that the patient had teratoma or teratocarcinoma of the left ovary. On exploratory laparotomy, we found that she had a mass with protuberances and a bulbous projection at one surface that was attached to the fimbrial end of the left fallopian tube. A histopathological examination showed a mature cystic teratoma that arose from the fimbrial end of the fallopian tube. Obstetricians should be aware of this abnormality. Early detection of this abnormality is advantageous for infertility counseling and planning of less invasive surgery in the hospital.

Coexistence of a mucinous cystadenoma arising in a mature cystic teratoma is infrequently reported. Herein a case of a 25-year-old woman diagnosed with a right ovarian mucinous cystadenoma arising in a mature cystic teratoma is reported. She presented with lower right abdominal discomfort. Ultrasound showed a14.8×7.9×12.5 cm structure on the right adnexa. She underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy, which was converted to exploratory laparotomy, during which a right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed.

A 30-year-old woman (gravida 0) visited our hospital with a complaint of right lower abdominal pain. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a 5-cm swollen right ovary, which was suspected to be a mature cystic teratoma. Pelvic examination revealed moderate pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a 44-mm cystic mass containing fat and calcified material in the right pelvis. Since torsion was suspected, emergent laparoscopic surgery was performed. Intraoperative findings were a swollen right ovary without torsion or congestion. Two small pedunculated 1- and 2-cm diameter paratubal cysts that grew from almost the same place of the ampulla of the right fallopian tube were observed. The thin stalk of the 1-cm paratubal cyst was entangled around the stalk of the 2-cm paratubal cyst, with its head congested. Through a small abdominal laparoscopic incision, the tumor of the right ovary and the two paratubal cysts were excised. Histopathological examination revealed that the right ovarian tumor was a mature cystic teratoma, and the two paratubal cysts had no malignancy. This case showed that only a 2-cm tumor with congestion caused the acute abdomen.

Background. Mature cystic teratomas of the fallopian tube are extremely rare and only 54 cases have been reported in the literature. In this paper, we report a mature cystic teratoma of the fallopian tube in a postmenopausal woman and we report the review of literature of tubal cystic teratomas.Case. A 62-year-old, gravida 4 postmenopausal woman presented with pain in the right lower abdominal region for a long time. An 88 × 72 × 95 mm heterogeneous mass which contained calcifications and lipoid components was detected in the right adnexal region by transvaginal ultrasonogram (TV-USG). Serum tumour markers, namely, CA125, CA15-3, and CA19-9, were within normal range. A laparotomy revealed a 9 × 10 cm cystic mass within the fimbrial region in the right fallopian tube, and right salpingoopherectomy was performed consequently. Microscopic examination revealed squamous epithelium with sebaceous glands and hair follicles, and pseudostratified ciliated respiratory epithelium with cartilage and mucous glands. Because the frozen section resulted in a benign dermoid cyst, no further operative procedure was performed. The postoperative follow-up was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the second postoperative day.Conclusion. In cases of undetermined pelvic or abdominal masses, a teratoma of the fallopian tube should be considered.

Dermoid cyst (mature cystic teratoma) with well differentiated derivatives of all the three-germ cell layer is a benign tumour with ovaries being the commonest site. Dermoid cyst accounts for more than half of ovarian tumours in girls below 20 years of age. 80% of dermoid cyst are seen in reproductive age group between 20-40 years. Size of dermoid cyst usually varies between 5-10 cm and it may be bilateral in 10% of cases. Malignant transformation is very rare occurrence only in 1-3% cases, however torsion may occur in 15% of dermoid cyst. Carbohydrate antigen or cancer antigen 19-9 is usually raised in gastrointestinal tumours, pancreatic malignancy, pseudocyst of pancreas. However, it may be raised in some other malignancies and benign condition like torsion of dermoid cyst. Authors report an unusual case of torsion large dermoid cyst with tissue necrosis along with significantly elevates levels of serum CA 19-9. A 30-year-old P1L1 female presented with chief complaint of heaviness and pain lower abdomen and loss of five kilogram weight for last three months. A provisional diagnosis of dermoid was made. Serum CA 19-9 level were 1126 IU significantly raised. An exploratory laparotomy done under regional anaesthesia. A large demoid cyst 12*10 cm with torsion and areas of gangrene in ovarian tissue was seen replacing left ovary. Large and small intestine, stomach, pancreas were explored to rule out any pathology. Histopathology confirmed diagnosis of mature cystic teratoma. There was significant fall in serum Ca 19-9 levels to 247 U/ml two weeks after surgery and levels returned to normal limit six weeks after surgery.

 Primary pelvic hydatid cyst disease is a zoonotic parasitic disease most frequently caused by Echinococcus granulosus or Echinococcus multilocularis. Primary pelvic hydatid cyst is a rare entity. A 39-year-old, para 3 living 3 presented to casualty with acute pain abdomen and a suprapubic mass. Patient gave history of acute lower abdominal pain since 4 days associated with vomiting. On examination, a palpable mass around 18 weeks size, firm to hard in consistency with ill-defined margins and restricted mobility and suprapubic tenderness. Lower limit could not be reached, extending from right iliac fossa to midline. Per vaginum findings suggestive of mass deviated to right side with fullness in right fornix. No cervical motion tenderness. The pre-operative tumor marker levels were as follows: CA125=12.44 U/mL (normal=0-35), CEA=0.09 ng/mL (normal=0-2.5). CA19.9=16.79 U/mL (normal=1.2-30). Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was found to be 82 mm in the first hour. Transabdominal ultrasound suggestive of adnexal mass? ovarian with moderate ascites. Urinary bladder seen separately. Contrast enhanced computed topography (CECT) suggestive of complicated right para-ovarian /ovarian cystic mass like cystadenoma. Exploratory laparotomy was done and specimen (uterus, cervix, omental biopsy and peritoneal washings) was sent for Histopathological report. Histopathological examination of the haematoxylin and eosin-stained section revealed ruptured brood capsule releasing daughter cyst. Post-operative period was uneventful. Patient received full course of anti-helminthic treatment.

Lymphangiomas are slow-growing tumors that remain asymptomatic for a long time, with the tumor being identified incidentally during histopathological examination after excision. Mature cystic teratoma is benign tumor consisting of mature tissue derived from two or three germ layers. We have 47-year-old woman who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy for right adnexal mass. As her ultrasound report revealed a right adnexal mass with solid and cystic components. The histological analysis along with immunohistochemistry (D2-40) maker confirmed the diagnosis of lymphangioma of the ovary coexisting with mature cystic teratoma. There is paucity of reported case of co-existing these two tumors in same tissue.Keywords: D2-40; lymphangioma; mature cystic teratoma; ovary.

Adnexal torsion frequently causes acute pelvic pain in women. Ovarian tumour torsion is common; twisting and torsion of a fallopian tube are rare. This report presents a rare case of fallopian tubal torsion requiring the management of a large hydrosalpinx with laparoscopic surgery. A 48-year-old woman reported with acute abdominal pain and lower abdomen tenderness. Transvaginal ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a cystic mass on the anterior uterine surface. Emergency surgery was performed for a suspected torsion of the left ovarian cyst. In the abdominal cavity, the left fallopian tube was enlarged (neonatal head size), dark purple coloured, and exhibited a 180° torsion; the left ovary was normal. Laparoscopic left salpingectomy was performed and the postoperative course was uneventful. Surgical pathology revealed hydrosalpinx with torsion. As diagnosing isolated fallopian tube torsion before surgery is difficult, laparoscopic surgery is useful in diagnosing and treating isolated tubal torsion.
