Dermoid cyst of ovary is the second most common type of ovarian germ cell tumor which constitutes 30 to 40% among ovarian tumors. It occurs mostly in women of reproductive age group between 20 and 40 years and very rarely in postmenopausal women. Postmenopause has its own set of symptoms and risks. One such risk is the possibility of malignancy of ovarian cyst with an incidence of 0.5 to 2%. We present an unusual and rare case of an 82 year old woman, who presented with complaints of pain abdomen and constipation for one year duration. Colonoscopy revealed diverticulitis. Despite being treated for diverticulitis, her symptoms persisted. CT was done which showed a right ovarian mass. Diagnostic laparoscopy was done and pus seen in the abdominal cavity was collected, bowel was distended, and dermoid cyst of ovary of 12 × 10 cm size which had undergone torsion three and a half times. Detorsion of ovary with right oophorectomy was done. Histopathology confirmed features of dermoid cyst with torsional changes in the wall and focal gangrene with no evidence of malignancy. Dermoid cyst occurs very rarely in postmenopausal women and treatment of choice is oophorectomy. Authors with this case highlight the proper management of ovarian dermoid cyst in symptomatic postmenopausal women.

Background. Iodine deficiency disorder is a major public health problem in Ethiopia that is more common in women of reproductive age. However, it is not well addressed and there is a lack of information on its prevalence and associated factors in women of reproductive age group. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess goiter prevalence and associated factors among women of reproductive age in the Demba Gofa woreda, Gamo Gofa Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was used among 584 randomly selected women in the reproductive age group from February 05 to April 20, 2016. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the study kebeles, and a systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study samples. Data were collected through a pretested questionnaire, and the goiter examination was done clinically for each participant. The collected data were coded and entered into a computer for statistical analysis using EpiData version 3.2 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Variables with a P value ≤0.25 in bivariate logistic regression analysis were entered into multivariate logistic regression analysis, and finally, variables with a P value <0.05 in multivariate logistic regression were considered significantly associated with the dependent variable. Results. The total goiter rate was 43%, 95% CI = 39.2–46.9. Cassava consumption (AOR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.03–4), salt wash before use (AOR: 3.14, 95% CI: 1.1–11.3), salt use after >2 months of purchase (AOR: 11, 95% CI: 5–26), family history of goiter (AOR: 4.6, 95% CI: 1.4–15.8), and poor knowledge of iodized salt (AOR: 2.7, 95% CI: 1.4–5.5) were significant factors associated with goiter. Conclusion. Iodine deficiency was found to be severe in women of reproductive age in the study area. This showed that women of reproductive age, especially during pregnancy, are exposed to iodine deficiency and its adverse effects at delivery. Thus, they need urgent supplementation with iodine, improved access to foods rich in iodine, and intake of iodized salt. Additionally, health education should focus on the importance of iodized salt, the proper method of use, and the prevention of iodine deficiency, which are highly recommended to minimize the problem.
