RESUMO
A case of benign cystic teratoma and a leiomyoma in the same ovary is described. The leiomyoma was confirmed by immunohistochemical methods. The occurrence of leimyoma and a teratoma within the same ovary is very rare.

A series of 96 patients who were diagnosed with 120 ovarian neoplasms at surgery have been reviewed. Nine types of benign ovarian cysts were encountered. Benign cystic teratoma with an incidence of 30 percent was the commonest tumor. The majority of these were in the 20 - 30 year age range. The mean age of the patients with mucinous cyst adenoma and benign cystic teratoma was significantly less (p< 0.05) than those with serous cyst adenoma. The incidence of ovarian malignancies of 8.3 percent was low, and none of the malignancies was bilateral. There was a high incidence of 8.3 percent of milignant change in benign cystic teratomas. Abdominal pain and swelling were the symptoms most frequently experienced in patients with benign ovarian neoplasms. (AU)

The radiological features of an ovarian dermoid undergoing torsion are described in a 9-year-old child presenting with an acute abdomen. It is postulated that in the absence of any specific radiological signs of torsion, serial plain film radiology may be more sensitive in predicting this complication than ultrasonography. Cyst enlargement and the transabdominal migration of dental elements are specific features on plain film which should increase suspicion even when features of torsion may be absent on ultrasonography.
