The aim af this study is to evaluate patients with mature cystic teratomas (MCT) with regard to the view of updated knowledge using our retrospective findings.
This was a retrospective study and included a total of 306 patients from 2013 through 2017 at the İstanbul Zeynep Kamil Women and Children's Diseases Training and Research Hospital.
The mean age of the patients was 34.03±11.98 years. Thirty (9.8%) patients were postmenopausal. Torsion was detected in 17 (5.6%) patients. There was a statistically significant relationship between MCT and CA 19-9 levels in our series (p<0.01) but no statistically significant correlation was found with other markers.
The possibility of malignancy at postmenopausal ages and in large MCT should not be forgotten. It should be kept in mind that MCT can be seen in unexpected places.
本研究旨在利用我们的回顾性研究结果，从最新知识的角度评估成熟性囊性畸胎瘤（MCT）患者。
这是一项回顾性研究，纳入了2013年至2017年期间在伊斯坦布尔泽伊内普·卡米尔妇女儿童医院的306例患者。
患者的平均年龄为34.03±11.98岁。30例（9.8%）患者处于绝经后。17例（5.6%）患者检测到扭转。在我们的系列研究中，MCT与CA 19-9水平之间存在统计学显著关系（p<0.01），但与其他标志物未发现统计学显著相关性。
不应忘记绝经后年龄和大的MCT发生恶性肿瘤的可能性。应牢记MCT可能出现在意想不到的部位。
