title: Epidermoid cyst of the ovary: a case report.
abstract: 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.
