The epidemiology of ovarian cysts is unclear due to the lack of consistent reporting and a high likelihood of spontaneous resolution. In the USA, postmenopausal women have an ovarian cyst incidence of 18% over a 15-year period. Worldwide, about 7% of women have an ovarian cyst at some point in their lives. In Europe, a large screening trial revealed a 21.2% incidence of ovarian cysts among heal...

BACKGROUND Some trials have compared laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) with gonadotropins but, because of variations in study design and small sample size, the results are inconsistent and definitive conclusions about the relative efficacy of LOD and gonadotropins cannot be extracted from the individual studies. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relative efficacy of LOD and gonadotropins for infert...

Mature cystic teratomas form approximately 20% of all ovarian tumours. Of these, approximately 15% include benign thyroid tissue. When thyroid tissue comprises more than 50% of the ovarian teratoma, it is termed ‘‘struma ovarii’’. The exact incidence of malignancy in struma ovarii is hard to evaluate, because of its uncommon nature. The aim of this study is to report a rare case of follicular v...

Most female ovarian lesions manifest as cystic masses contain variable contents of fluid. MR image is increasingly used to evaluate theses cystic lesions; malignancy can in some cases be predicted, however, sometimes it is nonspecific for differentiation of benign and malignant lesions. Solid component of ovarian cystic tumors visualized on ultrasonography, CT or MR images strongly supports the...

A 36-year-old female presented with constant, worsening left lower quadrant pain without associated fever or vaginal discharge. Pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound examinations were performed which demonstrated a large complex cystic structure in the left adnexa with peripheral flow on color Doppler imaging. Given the sonographic appearance and patient symptoms, possibilities included endometrio...

INTRODUCTION The diagnosis of hydatid cyst in female genital tract is rare and difficult. A high degree of clinical suspicion is needed for pre-operative investigations to exclude hydatid cyst of female pelvis. The objective of this presentation is to highlight a pelvic hydatid cyst that presented as an ovarian tumour. CASE PRESENTATION A 22-year-old female, presented with constipation and ha...

A case of Hashimoto's disease of the thyroid component of a benign cystic ovarian teratoma is reported, unassociated with previous neck surgery. Three hundred and fifteen cases of ovarian teratomata were reviewed to determine the incidence of this complication.

Mature cystic teratoma is the most common ovarian tumor in young females. We are presenting a 13-year-old African-American female with abdominal distension. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed midline cystic mass. Diagnosis was confirmed after laparoscopic left salpingo-oophorectomy. Malignant transformation of mature cystic teratoma is rare.
