Amaç: Overin Dev Dermoid Kisti Teratomlar genellikle üreme çağındaki kadınlarda ortaya çıkan, overin en sık görülen tümörlerindendir. Bu yazıda alışılagelmişin dışında büyüklüğe sahip dev bir benign kistik teratom olgusu sunuldu. 17 yaşındaki hastada ultrasonografide tüm batını dolduran, diaframı superiora iten 37x37x37 cm çaplarında, sağ over kaynaklı bir kitle saptanması üzerine opere edilen hastaya sağ salpingo-ooferektomi yapıldı. Kitlenin ağırlığı preoperatif tüm vücut ağırlığının %16’sını oluşturacak şekilde 11.5 kg olarak ölçüldü. Patoloji sonucu benign kistik teratom olarak rapor edilmiştir.

Overin Dev Dermoid Kisti

Objective: Teratomas are the most common ovarian neoplasms that occur especially during the reproductive age. We report a benign cystic teratoma with an unusual size. In a 17 years old patient, ultrasound examination revealed a mass of 37x37x37 cm. The mass had originated from the right ovary, filled the full abdomen and pushed the diaphragm to the superior. The patient underwent right salpingo-oopherectomy. The weight of the mass was 11.5 kg, which accounted for approximately 16% of the preoperative total body weight. Pathologic examination revealed benign cystic teratoma.
