Abstract

DE LOS RIOS, José Fernando et al. Laparoscopic resection of 13 ovarian teratomas and a simple cyst in the same patient: a case report. Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2007, vol.58, n.1, pp.78-82. ISSN 0034-7434.

This paper describes the case of a woman who complained of pelvic pain. She underwent a transvaginal ultrasound which revealed the presence of bilateral ovarian teratomas. She then underwent a laparoscopy in which 7 teratomas and one simple cyst were found and resected from the right ovary; 6 additional teratomas were found within the ovary following left-hand side salpingoophorectomy. This case is reported to increase the body of literature concerning multiple ovarian lesions and because no other reports about such a large amount of multiple teratomas which have been handled by laparoscopy despite the size and the number of the tumors could be found after conducting extensive research.

Keywords : ovarian teratoma; multiple; laparoscopy; bilateral.
