Benign mature teratomas account for approximately 10-17% of all ovarian neoplasms and are the type of ovarian neoplasm most likely to occur during a woman's reproductive life. Bilateral localization is observed in some 10-15% of cases and the estimated incidence of malignant degeneration is 0.5-1.8%. The authors report a case of a 35-year-old woman admitted with discontinuous abdominal and pelvic pain. Imaging procedures showed an adnexal mass with the appearance of a dermoid cyst. The patient underwent laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy with preservation of the adnexal gland. After a review of the international literature and a description of the clinical features of the disease the authors go on to stress the advantages of laparoscopic management of benign ovarian teratomas.
良性成熟畸胎瘤约占所有卵巢肿瘤的10 - 17%，是女性生殖期最易发生的卵巢肿瘤类型。约10 - 15%的病例为双侧发病，恶性变的估计发生率为0.5 - 1.8%。作者报告了一例35岁女性，因间断性腹部和盆腔疼痛入院。影像学检查显示附件区有一个皮样囊肿样肿物。患者接受了保留附件的腹腔镜卵巢囊肿切除术。在回顾国际文献并描述该疾病的临床特征后，作者继续强调腹腔镜治疗良性卵巢畸胎瘤的优势。
