title: Bilateral Ovarian Teratoma: One Parasitic Twisted In-situ and Another Parasitic at the Hepato Renal Space.
abstract: Parasitic ovarian dermoid cysts are very rare. We report a rare case of bilateral ovarian dermoid cysts with parasitic teratoma at the hepato renal space measuring 11x11x6 cm while the other was twisted measuring 10x6x5 cm.Right ovary and tube were absent. The mass found at the hepato renal space was surrounded by and adherent to the omentum with viable tubal fimbria like structure at upper surface. Histopathologically both masses were confirmed as mature ovarian teratoma. The etiology of parasitic teratoma would be due to torsion followed by autoamputation and reimplantation of the right ovarian dermoid cyst.
