Incidental risk of malignancy in mature cystic teratoma: experience of a single tertiary center

We aimed to evaluate the incidental risk of malignancy in mature cystic teratomas (MCT) and check management. retrospectively reviewed records patients diagnosed treated with MCT divided into two groups as pure malignant transformation MCT. In our clinic incidence ovarian MCTs was 2.7%. Median age (p = 0.005) mass size 0.027) were statistically higher group. The most common histological type transformations struma ovarii (35.7%). group, five-year disease-free survival 66.7% overall 86.7%. Although is rare, it should not be ignored. Age, size, preoperative imaging all evaluated suspicion if available, frozen section used. Management inconsistent a result its rarity. New management practices developed further studies.
