It is challenging for the clinicians to make a pre-operative diagnosis of Teratomas, especially, if it is a case of immature cystic teratoma. We diagnosed women of age groups 0-20 yrs, 20-40 yrs, 40-60 yrs, >60 yrs,who presented with abdominal masses, which were diagnosed by abdominal Ultrasound as Teratomas, the types of which were best described after a proper Histopathological examination in the Department of Pathology at RIMS. The aims of the current study were to analyse the clinical features of Ovarian teratomas and to discuss it’s management. Women requiring surgery for Ovarian Teratomas should be appropriately counselled about the risks and benefits of laparoscopic and open approaches.
