Abstract Mature cystic teratoma or dermoid cyst is the most common germ cell tumour of the ovary. The incidence ranges from 5 to 25% of all ovarian neoplasms out of which 13.7% are bilateral. Teratomas usually occur in the ovaries but they may be seen in other sites known as extragonadal teratomas the incidence of which is only 0.4%. Teratomas are usually benign but they may turn out to be highly malignant. Torsion is known to be the most frequent complication of ovarian teratomas followed by autoamputation. Teratomas are classified as “Mature” and “Immature” by WHO. Teratomas show good prognosis specially the mature ones. Surgery and follow up remains the standard approach. We report a case of mature cystic teratoma in the right ovary of a 28 years old nulliparous woman.

Common Malignancy

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.

Adrenal sarcomatoid carcinomas are extremely rare tumors presenting with extensive locoregional spread at the time of diagnosis. Patients succumb to metastases within a couple of months. As a result, very few cases are reported in the literature until now. We present a case of a 62-year old female with non-functional sarcomatoid carcinoma of the right adrenal gland. There was no radiological evidence of locoregional metastases. Patient underwent right adrenalectomy. Follow up after 3 months showed para-aortic lymphadenopathy and similar left adrenal mass on computed tomography. Patient refused further treatment and succumbed to the disease. A brief case report with review of literature is presented.

ABSTRACT Up to a quarter of ovarian masses originate from germ cells and many of these are mature cystic teratomas (MCT). The secondary development of malignancy is a rare but well-known phenomenon in patient with ovarian teratomas. The incidence of malignant transformation in mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is less than 2% as reported in gynecological and pathological literature. Here, we present a case of malignant transformation in MCT of the ovary.

Ovarian Teratomas

Ovarian teratomas are the most common germ cell tumors and are classified as mature, immature and malignant.Mature cystic teratomas, also called dermoid cysts, are the most common germ cell tumour, accounting for upto 70% of benign ovarian masses in the reproductive years and 20% in postmenopausal women.Immature ovarian teratoma affects primarily younger patients and mature cystic teratomas seen in reproductive age groups. This case report provides a brief summary of the clinicopathological features of the ovarian teratomas such as, the immature teratoma which being a rare tumour was diagnosed in a 15 year old adolescent girl, managed surgically by laparotomy followed by chemotherapy, and the other case of a benign mature cystic teratoma in an elderly 52 year old postmenopausal woman, managed surgically although benign cystic teratomas are rare in the postmenopausal age group.
