Abstract
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 however. [1] Mature cystic teratomas are rarely the cause of adnexal torsion during pregnancy and can be difficult to diagnose. [2] Immature teratoma is one of the rare malignant germ cell tumour presented in pregnancy. [3] Here we present a case of 28years old lady pregnant with her second child who was found to have right sided ovarian cyst during second trimester anatomy scan. Follow up ultrasounds however demonstrated right sided complex ovarian cyst measuring 13.9x17.2cm. She had undergone Caesarean section at 37weeks of gestation and hight side salpigoophorectomy . Histopathology showed mature and immature teratoma.
