Abstract

Ovarian dermoid cysts are made up of solid, cystic, and fat tissue arising from two of the three germ layers. The incidence of they being bilateral is rare and accounts for 10%–15%. A 42-year-old female came with chief complaints of increased bleeding during menses and pain in the abdomen. Ultrasonography revealed echogenic lesion with heterogeneous echotexture in both the ovaries with internal echogenic strands within which was s/o bilateral dermoid cyst. The patient had a left ectopic renal kidney on contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen; there was well–defined, rounded, mixed-density mass lesion seen in the pelvis showing fat density, areas of calcification (Rokitansky protuberance), soft tissue, and fluid components. After postoperative and histopathological correlation, it was found to be bilateral dermoid.
