Irregular dental structures in a benign ovarian cystic teratoma (dermoid cyst): case report.

Mature cystic teratomas, often referred to as dermoid cysts, are the most common germ cell tumors of the ovary in women of reproductive age. The gross pathologic appearance of a dermoid cysts is characteristic. Hair follicles, skin glands, muscle, and other tissues lie within the cyst wall. We present a case of a dermoid cyst ovarian tumor in a 24-your-old patient with a tooth lying on each wall. The mass was laparoscopically removed by ovarian cystectomy.
