Mature cystic teratoma is the most common ovarian neoplasm among young females. Diagnosed through radiological imaging as it exhibits typical radiological features; typically, fat. However, complete cystic teratoma without visible fat is a very rare and challenging diagnosis. It is difficult to distinguish it from malignant neoplasm, due to the presence of enhancing components, for example, Rokitansky nodule and the presence of diffusion restriction from keratinized products. We present a case of an incidental mature cystic teratoma without visible intracystic fat, where the correct diagnosis based on imaging was failed. Mature cystic teratoma was then confirmed upon histologic examination.
成熟囊性畸胎瘤是年轻女性中最常见的卵巢肿瘤。因其具有典型的影像学特征(通常为脂肪),可通过放射影像学诊断。然而,完全没有可见脂肪的囊性畸胎瘤是一种非常罕见且具有挑战性的诊断。由于存在强化成分,例如罗基坦斯基结节以及角质化产物的扩散受限,很难将其与恶性肿瘤区分开来。我们报告一例偶然发现的无可见囊内脂肪的成熟囊性畸胎瘤病例,该病例基于影像学未能做出正确诊断。组织学检查后确诊为成熟囊性畸胎瘤。
