Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Dermoid Cyst
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.
