Abstract

Immature ovarian teratomas are a rare subtype of germ cell tumours characterized by the presence of embryonic elements, particularly primitive neuroepithelium, and they typically affect young women. We report the case of a 20-year-old woman who presented with a growing abdominal mass that turned out to be a grade II immature teratoma after adnexectomy. This article reviews the clinical presentation, imaging features, and some of the main problems that arise in the management of immature ovarian teratomas.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of conflicting interestsThe authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest.
