Torsion, Autoamputation, and Reimplantation of Viable Ovarian Dermoid Cyst

Abstract

Introduction: Case reports of parasitic teratomas exist; however, most viable ovarian dermoids reimplant into the omentum. It is rare to report a viable ovary containing a dermoid that has undergone autoamputation and reimplantation in the posterior cul-de-sac.

A Large Parasitic Dermoid Cyst in The Pouch of Douglas, A Torsion Complication?

“…The state of the fallopian tubes and the histopathology report are both considered the pedestal of understanding and determining the underlying etiology. seven cases 4,7,12 manifested either fallopian tube abnormality or reported the presence of ovarian tissue microscopically, which strongly supports the theory of auto amputation among other proposed etiologies. We believe that the present case also demonstrates the autoamputation of a right ovarian teratoma depending on the macroscopic observation of the right ovary residuals and the presence of an isolated teratoma in the pouch of Douglas.…”
