[Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary with differentiated and secretive gastric mucosa].
Large teratomas with gastric mucosa are rare. We report a case of mature cystic teratoma in an ovary of a young woman. Tumor growth was large and rapid enough to displace abdominal organs. The cyst was aspirated (removing 101 of mucinoid liquid) and excised by medial hypogastric laparotomy. The histological examination revealed differentiated gastric fundal mucosa with no other tissue involvement.
