title: Cystic teratoma of the greater omentum: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Cystic teratoma in the greater omentum remains one of gynecology's rarest entities. A 28-year-old woman presented with a goose-egg-sized mass in the right lower quadrant. At laparotomy, the mass proved to be a cystic teratoma of the greater omentum. To our knowledge, this report documents the first case where an omental pedicle was torsioned.
