title: Unusual "floating balls" appearance of an ovarian cystic teratoma: sonographic and CT findings.
abstract: Ovarian cystic teratomas are cystic fatty tumors that can be easily diagnosed by sonography and CT. We present a case of ovarian cystic teratoma with an unusual sonographic appearance of mobile, hyperechoic, intracystic fat balls; this finding correlated well with the appearance on CT.
