Dermoid Cyst

Clinical History

A 50-year old lady presented with a recent onset of lower abdominal pain. Ultrasound was requested to assess the pelvic organs as the cause for pain.

Case Description

Transabdominal pelvic ultrasound revealed a 6 cm dermoid cyst in the right adnexa. The normal right ovarian tissue was not visualised separate from this cyst.

Diagnosis/ Discussion/ Treatment/ Follow up

A few months later, the patient had a follow up CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis for a different assessment which also confirmed the presence of the fat-containing right ovarian dermoid cyst.
