Description
Sravya Pinnamaneni, Sunayana Sayani, Premsai Chilakuluri, and Stergios Boussios published a 2024 case report on dermoid cysts in both ovaries of a young woman. Dermoid cysts, also called mature cystic teratomas, are the most common type of ovarian tumor. They appear on both sides in about 10 percent of cases, but multiple bilateral cysts are rarely reported.
The patient was a 22-year-old woman who had never given birth. She came in with missed periods and sudden dull pain across her lower abdomen. Ultrasound and CT scans showed large mixed solid and fluid lesions in both ovaries, containing fat and calcification typical of these cysts. Surgeons removed them by laparoscopic cystectomy, a keyhole operation that preserves the ovaries.
