Abstract :

Mature cystic teratoma of ovary is the most common germ cell tumour and also the most common tumour of the ovary. It accounts for more than 20% of all the ovarian neoplams. In spite of it being so common, the cut section of such a tumour containing multiple sebaceous balls of varying sizes is quite a rare presentation. Extensive literature search has revealed only few such cases reported in the practice of gynaecology. Here, we present a case of benign cystic teratoma of ovary in a 30-year-old lady with similar presentation.
