  Presentation A 42-year-old woman underwent an ultrasound for an ovarian mass. Caption: Sagittal image of the right adnexa Description: A complex cystic mass is seen in the right adnexa, replacing the entire right ovary. [sonoworld.com]

  Ultrasonography revealed a cystic ovarian mass with internal echogenecity. Microscopic finding was consistent with that of usual mature cystic teratoma except for a 1.5 cm focus of prostatic and bladder tissues. [jpatholtm.org]

  An ultrasound scan showed a right complex solid and cystic ovarian mass, and computed tomography of the pelvis revealed a 3.5-cm right adnexal mass with calcifications suggestive of teeth. The contralateral ovary was normal in appearance. [surgjournal.com]

Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment. Use of cisplatin and dacarbazine may be considered in a patient with metastatic disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
