Mucoepidermoid carcinoma in a mature cystic teratoma: A rare case report with review of literature

Abstract

Mature cystic teratoma, also known as dermoid cyst, is the most common germ cell tumor of the ovary with a relative incidence of 20%. Rarely, dermoid cysts undergo malignant transformation (0.94%–2%). We report a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma within a mature cystic teratoma in a 35-year-old female.
