Collision tumour is the coexistence of two adjacent, but histologically distinct tumours without histologic admixture. Collision tumours are rare in the ovary. It is mostly a histopathological diagnosis often missed in preoperative imaging. The radiologist, gynaecologists and pathologists should be aware of such a combination of tumours to avoid misdiagnosis. We describe the finding of a rare collision tumour, mature cystic teratoma and ovarian fibroma complicated by torsion.

Background: Ovarian cystic neoplasms are common in gynaecological practice. These may pose diagnostic difficulty to the pathologists. This study was conducted to analyse the clinical and histological profile of ovarian cystic neoplasms.Methods: This is a retrospective study done from January 2016 to April 2017 in a tertiary care hospital in North East India. All the patients, who were clinically and radiologically diagnosed as ovarian cysts, which had histopathological confirmation were included in the study. Data including the age, parity, clinical symptoms, laterality and histopathological findings were analysed.Results: A total of 101 patients operated for ovarian cysts in the study period were analysed. The most common clinical presentation was lower abdominal pain. There were 11 (10.9%) malignant cases, 4 (4%) were intermediate grade and borderline in nature, and 85 (84.1%) cases were benign in nature. There was 1 (1%) case of metastasis to ovary. Mature cystic teratoma was most common (20.8%) histopathological diagnosis. The second most common cyst was serous cystadenoma (19.8%).Conclusion: Ovarian cysts are commonly encountered in gynaecological practice and equally encountered by the pathologists. Most commonly found ovarian cysts were mature cystic teratoma followed by serous cystadenoma.

Mature cystic teratomas are the most common ovarian germ cell tumour and account for 10–20% of all ovarian neoplasms. Malignant transformation of mature cystic teratomas is rare and has an incidence rate of less than 1%. The most common malignancy are squamous cell carcinomas. Here we present the case of an intestinal adenocarcinoma which is an exceedingly rare malignant entity arising within a mature cystic teratoma. Clinical presentation, imaging and histopathological diagnosis are discussed and previously presented cases in the literature reviewed.

Mature cystic teratomas account for 30–45 % of all ovarian tumours. Malignant transformation of these tumours is rare with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) being the commonest histological type. During a 24-year period (1986–2010) we identified six women treated for SCC arising in a mature cystic teratoma at our institution. Each case was reviewed retrospectively recording presenting symptoms, tumour markers, preoperative imaging, tumour stage, management and outcome. Durable responses are difficult to achieve but best treatment response was seen in a woman who had partial response to chemo-radiotherapy. Concurrent chemo-radiation may be considered for disease confined to the pelvis.
