Epidermoid Cyst of Ovary - A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Epidermoid cyst of ovary represents 1% of all surface epithelial tumors. Though we commonly see follicular cyst, simple serous cyst, hemorrhagic cysts in hysterectomy specimens of post menopausal females, epidermoid cyst is an incidental finding. It is necessary to differentiate epidermoid cyst from dermoid cyst and immature teratoma because of different line of treatment. We here report a case of epidermoid cyst in a 50 years old female who presented with pain in lower abdomen and increased bleeding per vaginum.
