Dermoid cyst (cystic teratoma) showing well differentiated derivatives of all three germs cell layers is a benign germ cell tumour. Ovaries remain the commonest site. Paravaginal dermoid cyst is a rare occurrence. Pre-operative diagnosis is usually difficult in majority of cases. They constitute less than 4% of all extragonadal teratomas. A 28-year old, P2L2 female presented with paravaginal cyst, 10×10cms, non-tender, soft swelling, cystic in consistency occupying posterior and left part of rectovaginal septum. Trans vaginal excision of cyst under regional anaesthesia done. Cyst was ruptured while excision showing putty material with tuft of hairs. A retrospective diagnosis of mature teratoma/paravaginal dermoid cyst was made on histopathological examination. Paravaginal dermoid cyst, a benign cystic teratoma is a very rare occurrence. Transvaginal excision of dermoid cyst under anaesthesia remains treatment of choice. Retrospective diagnosis on histopathological examination remains confirmatory as it may be missed on sonography if teeth are not present in dermoid cyst.

Background. Preoperative diagnosis of immature cystic teratoma can be challenging for clinicians. In this report, we present three cases.Methods. We describe three women aged 10, 20, and 23 years, respectively, who presented with abdominal masses which were diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound as mature cystic teratomas. All women had emergency laparotomy and oophorectomy.Results. Histopathological examination reported these ovarian tumours to be immature cystic teratomas. This case report also provided a brief summary of the clinicopathological features of all ovarian teratomas diagnosed in two centres during the period of review.Conclusion. Immature ovarian teratoma affects primarily younger patients; it is important for clinicians to have a high sense of suspicion whenever the diagnosis of a germ cell tumour is entertained.

ABSTRACT Mature cystic teratoma or dermoid cyst constitutes about 10 to 20% of all ovarian tumors in the reproductive age group. Malignant transformation is seen in these tumors in about 1 to 2%. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) constitutes about 75 to 85% of malignant transformation. Imaging characters and serum tumor markers are two important modalities to differentiate benign and malignant lesions. We are presenting a rare case of SCC arising from mature teratoma. The aim of this presentation is to stress on the significance of preoperative risk assessment of SCC in mature cystic teratoma in postmenopausal age group for optimal treatment.

Mature cystic teratoma comprise 20-30% of all ovarian tumours. They are mostly seen in patients between 20 and 40 years of age and are mostly asymptomatic. Incidence of malignancy is high in perimenopausal and postmenopausal group. Here, authors report a case of torsion of dermoid cyst presenting unusually in a 45-year-old perimenopausal woman with acute abdomen. A 45-year-old perimenopausal woman presented with lower abdominal pain of 8 hours duration and 3-4 episodes of vomiting. Abdominal examination revealed a regular, firm to cystic, tender abdomino-pelvic mass corresponding to the size of 28 weeks gravid uterus by palpation. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed the presence of right ovarian cyst measuring 12.9x12.8x10.1 cm. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo oopherectomy was done. Histopathological examination confirmed mature cystic teratoma. Although mature cystic teratoma is rare after 40 years age, especially in perimenopausal women and are usually malignant in that age group, it can have an unusual age presentation at 45 years with benign nature as in present case.

Ovarian Teratomas

Background: Teratomas are belonging to a group of germ cell tumors. It is also referred to as dermoid cyst. Teratomas are most common germ cell tumor of the ovary. Teratomas are composed of various histological types. In this article we are presenting various morphological patterns, its clinical manifestation and its clinical significance.Methods: This is prospective study for a period of 3 years from March 2016 to February 2019 at tertiary care hospital. It consists of total evaluation of 82 cases of ovarian lesions which were surgically excised for clinically or radiologically suspected of ovarian neoplasm.Results: A total of 82 cases of ovarian specimen were included out of which 18 cases were of ovarian teratoma. In these 17 cases were benign teratomas, 1 case of immature teratoma. All the cases of mature teratoma were predominantly of cystic type with focal solid areas. Right sided ovary was involved in44.5% cases while left sided in 55.5% cases. The tumor size ranges from 2.5 cm to 20.8 cms. The age range in this study was from 20 to 60 year. The common age observed for ovarian teratoma was in group of 31-40 years, having 6 cases. The clinically most of cases were asymptomatic or presented with unexplained abdominal pain or palpable mass. USG finding in most of cases were diffuse or partial echogenic mass lesion with cystic nature and echogenic bands.Conclusions: In our study showed mature cystic teratoma is the most common type of ovarian teratomas. The immature and monodermal types are rare. The histopathological examination plays important role in final diagnosis   and patient management.

Mucinous Ovarian Tumors

A collision tumor is the coexistence of two adjacent, but histologically distinct tumors without histological admixture in the same tissue or organ. Such tumors have often been reported in various organs, but location in the ovary is rare. The juxtaposition with dermoid cysts has been reported as comprising approximately 5% of benign mucinous ovarian tumors and rare examples of proliferating mucinous tumors. Authors are reporting a case of collision tumor which included benign mucinous cystadenoma and benign cystic teratoma. The gynecologists and pathologists should be aware of such combination of tumors. The case was diagnosed post-operatively. It is important to correctly diagnose the component of tumor for further management and favourable prognosis. Frozen section intra-operatively plays an important role in diagnosing such tumors.

Reproductive Age Group

Dermoid cysts or mature cystic teratoma are the most common type of ovarian germ cell tumor usually occurring in the reproductive age group. They are commonly unilateral and 10-12 % can be bilateral. They are commonly multicystic and contain sebaceous fluid as well as tissue of three germ cell layers e.g. ectoderm (skin, hair, brain) mesoderm (muscle, fat ,teeth ,bone, and cartilage) and endoderm (mucious and ciliated epithelium).These teratomas usually arise from the gonads but has been found anywhere in the body. Their site, size and clinical presentations are extremely variable causing confusion with medical and surgical diseases, acute emergency due to rupture and torsion , bowel and bladder injuries, and pregnancy etc. The malignant teratoma occurs at 3-4% only among ovarian carcinoma. The malignant transformation in benign cysts is a rare occurrence with 1-2% cases and squamous cell carcinoma being the commonest. This review is undertaken to study the different presentations produced by these tumors. Keywords: bizarre; cyst; dermoid.

Mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is the commonest germ cell neoplasm of the ovary but malignant transformation is a rare occurrence (1-2%). Of these malignancies documented in literature the commonest are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Urothelial carcinomas arising in an MCT are a rare occurrence and only 7 cases have been reported in literature. We report a case of an MCT which was complicated by the presence of urothelial carcinoma confirmed on histopathological examination.
