AN UNUSUAL CASE OF BILATERAL MULTIPLE OVARIAN DERMOID CYSTS

Although the incidence of bilateral dermoid cysts varies from 10-15%, multiple ovarian mature cystic teratomas in the same ovary are very rare. A young 30 years old nulligravida, married for 5 years presented to our outdoor with intermittent pain hypogastrium for the last 3 months. The case was diagnosed on Ultrasonography to be bilateral multiple terratomas due to presence of hyper-echoic solid components in the cysts. On Laparotomy ovaries were conserved & three dermoid cysts were enucleated from both ovaries. Diagnosis was confirmed on hitopathology as dermoid cysts .Complete clearance of both ovaries at the time of excision of demoid is essential to nullify the risk of recurrence.
