Epidermoid cyst of the ovary: a case report.
In the ovary, epidermoid cysts are rare and their origin is controversial. This rare lesion was uniformly an incidental finding in the study of hysterectomy specimens. The patient was a 48-year-old woman. Because of multiple leiomyomas she had a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy operation. A Epidermoid cyst was found incidentally in the right ovary on the microscopic examination.
