Ovarian bilateral cystic teratomas: diagnosis and therapy in a young woman.
A case of ovarian bilateral cystic teratomas is described in young women. Difficult problems concerning diagnosis and therapy are deeply analyzed because of the rarity of this case. Bilateral and typical ultrasound aspects appear strongly indicative of an ovarian tumor. A conservative reproduction-preserving procedure was performed, due to the young age of the patients.
