Typical and atypical magnetic resonance imaging manifestation of ovarian mature cystic teratomas: A report of two cases

Abstract

The mature teratoma, also known as a dermoid cyst, is the most common type of ovarian teratoma (OT). They constitute 95% of all teratomas and 69% of germ cell tumors, and their heterogeneity leads to various clinical manifestations with a wide range of imaging presentations. We presented 2 patients undergoing pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing a mature cystic teratoma and pathologic examination confirming typical and atypical findings.
