Case report details conservative treatment for mature teratoma presenting as an abdominopelvic mass during pregnancy, suggesting clinical importance.
The mature teratoma or dermoid cyst of the ovary is a benign tumor with a good prognosis which constitutes less than 1% of ovarian tumors. Its association with pregnancy is rare. We report the case of a 30-year-old woman admitted for management of an abdominopelvic mass for which she underwent an ultrasound supplemented by a pelvic MRI followed by conservative treatment based on an adnexectomy with multiple biopsies, the anatomopathological result of which was in favor of a mature ovarian teratoma. Through the analysis of this observation and the data of the literature, we will discuss the different aspects of this association.
