Abstract

Ovarian dermoid cyst are the most common germs cell tumors of ovarian and make up about two thirds of all ovarian tumors. They occur mostly in women between the second and fourth decades of the life and usually present with non-specific symptoms including lateral onset menarche and menstrual cycle abnormalities.

It is reported the case of 23 years old women, who presented with sudden onset of severe lower abdominal pain and nausea, similar episode of pain were experienced in the previous few months and diagnosed as a case of unilateral ovarian cyst. She was found to have unilateral – ovarian torsion caused by adnexal mass. She was managed by detorsion and Rt. Cystectomy and Laparotomy at Ibn- Sina Teaching Hospital.

Mature teratoma is an important gynecological morbidity whose prompt diagnosis and management can ever serious complication. We therefore preset this case to raise physician awareness on common presentation of common gynecological tumor.
