  A 55-year-old woman presented with an asymptomatic right ovarian mass, showing features of cystic teratoma according to preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  No ovarian mass was detected on CT scan performed 5 years earlier, and an ovarian mass should have been observed on CT scan (Figure 2B). The patient was discharged to her home. [journals.sagepub.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]

Moreover, we review systematically the disease from the following aspects, that origin, clinical characteristics, accessory examination, pathological features, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In this study, the incidence, histologic types, and prognosis of the malign transformed MCT were assessed. [turkiyeklinikleri.com]

The review indicates that prognosis of adenocarcinoma is as poor as that for squamous cell carcinoma arising from a MCT. Conclusions: In general, as with this case, prognosis of advanced adenocarcinoma associated with a MCT is poor. [karger.com]
