Mature ovarian teratoma in a newborn: A case report

Abstract

Mature cystic ovarian teratomas, also called dermoid cysts, are one of the most frequent ovarian tumors and are suggested when a fat-containing cystic tumor is identified on imaging. Knowledge of the imaging features of these tumors allows for a confident diagnosis to be made in most cases. Treatment is usually based on surgical resection, which is preferably carried out by laparoscopic way.
