Abstract EN
Dermoid cyst is the most common germ cell tumor of the ovary containing various tissue elements.
Ovarian torsion is a common complication of which ultrasonographic diagnosis is confusing.
We report here a 14-year-old adolescent with painless torsion of the ovary including dermoid cyst and with abnormal elevated CA 19-9 serum levels.
Elevated CA 19-9 level may be related to ovarian torsion and may predict the extent of tissue necrosis.
