Abstract EN
Mature ovarian cystic teratomas are common benign ovarian neoplasm derived from germ cells.
With increasing availability of ultrasound services even in developing countries, the diagnosis of benign ovarian tumour is made earlier and the size of the ovarian tumour at diagnosis is relatively small.
It is unusual to find an ovarian cystic teratoma larger than 10 cm.
We report a huge mature ovarian cystic teratoma in a multipara with a history of Hansen’s disease.
We conclude that, in circumstances where women have restricted access to health care, the unusual finding of mature ovarian cystic teratoma larger than 10 cm is possible due to delayed presentation for diagnosis and treatment.
