A Rare Case of an Autoamputated Ovary with Mature Cystic Teratoma.

Autoamputated ovary with mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is a rarely reported gynecologic entity with an unknown prevalence. A 34-year-old woman referred to our clinic for presumed left ovarian tumor. Pelvic examination, ultrasonography and computed tomography scan revealed a 5-cm, cystic ovarian mass with calcification and fat component, and tumor markers were as follows, cancer antigen (CA) 125; 10.4 U/mL, CA19-9; 2 U/mL. Laparoscopy was performed. The mass was identified in the left adnexal region without any ligamentous or direct connection with the pelvic organs. The right ovary was normal. However, the left ovary and the tube could not be identified in its proper anatomical location. The mass was successfully removed with sharp and blunt dissection. A review of histopathologic study revealed a MCT. The patient became pregnant within seven months and gave birth to a healthy baby by cesarean section. We present a rare case of an autoamputated ovary with MCT.
