A Rare Case of Bilateral Mature Teratoma With Disseminated Deposits and Ascitic Fluid Involvement in a Young Female: An Exceptional Case Report.

Abstract

Teratoma is a germ cell neoplasm of the ovary. There are two main types of teratomas: mature teratoma and immature teratoma. Teratomas can rarely be associated with disseminated deposits. It is most commonly seen in immature teratomas. Mature teratomas with deposits are exceedingly rare. Glial tissue is the most widely implanted tissue in the case of teratomas. We report a case of immature teratoma of the ovary, postneoadjuvant chemotherapy with abdominal pain and distension. Imaging revealed an ovarian mass. Following this, total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral mature teratoma with disseminated deposits and ascitic fluid involvement. These deposits comprised elements with derivatives of all three germ cell layers. This case will help to shed light on the literature regarding the status of disseminated deposits and ascitic fluid involvement in mature teratoma of the ovary.
