Mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is the most common benign germ cell tumor of the ovary and contains the different tissues that originate from the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. The monodermal teratoma has a component of only the germ layer. Ovarian carcinoid is rare and considered as a monodermal teratoma. We report a case of carcinoid tumor arising in MCT in a 60-year-old postmenopausal woman.
