“…In this present case an autoallergic haemolytic anaemia was not found. Caruso, Marsh, Minkowitz, and Karten (1971) have reviewed 305 teratomas of the ovary and discovered that thyroid tissue was present in only 20 cases (7 %) and struma ovarii in two cases (07 %). There is no mention of Hashimoto's disease in connexion with any of their cases.…”

“…The tumour cavity is filled with sebaceous material because of the squamous epithelia in the wall. This material is liquid at body temperature and semisolid at room temperature [16]. There is usually a raised protuberance, known as the Rokitansky protuberance, projecting into the cyst cavity [2].…”

Mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is the most common neoplasm of the ovary and includes at least two well- differentiated germ cell layers. Different combinations of mature tissue derivatives with varying arrangements in the tumour cause a wide spectrum of radiological presentation ranging from a purely cystic mass to a complex cystic mass with a considerable solid component. In different imaging modalities, each radiological feature reflects a specific pathologic equivalent that forms because of diverse compositions of histological components. Understanding uncommon findings as well as the classic signs with basic knowledge of pathological equivalents permits a more accurate diagnosis and guides adequate treatment. In this review, radiological features of MCT in different imaging modalities (US, CT, MR imaging) including specific signs and useful radiological artefacts with brief emphasis on pathological basics are discussed. Teaching points • Ovarian mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) have a wide spectrum of radiological presentation.• Each radiological feature of MCT reflects a specific pathologic equivalent.• Understanding radiological signs with basic knowledge of pathology can permit a more accurate diagnosis.

“…MCT contains components originating from 3 germ cell layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) with different ratios, which include skin, neural components, teeth, cartilage, respiratory epithelium, and intestinal epithelium [3]. About 7–13 % of MCT cases include intestinal epithelium [4], however, there have been only a few cases of ovarian MCT including complete colon structures [5, 6]. …”

BackgroundMature cystic teratoma (MCT) of the ovary is benign germ cell tumor and shows the highest incidence in women of reproductive age. Histologically, it includes components derived from endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. Although there have been many reports of MCT having small part of the intestinal component, ovarian MCT containing complete colon structure was very rare.Case presentationA 54-year-old woman underwent laparoscopic left salpingo-oophorectomy due to an incidentally found ovarian mass. The pathologic diagnosis of the ovary was MCT containing complete colonic structure. The colonic wall exhibited complete structure of the large intestine composed of mucosa, submucosa, proper muscle, subserosa and serosa. It also contained sebaceous gland, sweat glands, fat tissue, and bone. The patient recovered without any complications.ConclusionImmunohistochemical staining can be used for differential diagnosis between MCT with colonic wall and mucinous tumor. We report a very rare case of MCT that had complete colon structure with a brief literature review.
