Abstract

Ovarian dermoid cysts are a common benign tumor. Although there is often a genetic component to this abnormality, this report discusses the case of a patient with an ovarian dermoid tumor with no family history of gynecological cancer. The diagnosis, surgical management, and malignancy of ovarian dermoid cysts are discussed.

Keywords: cyst; emergency medicine; ovarian dermoid tumor; ovary; tumor.
