Ovarian dermoid cysts, also known as mature teratomas, are benign embryonal tumors with a slow growth rate. They are the consequence of ectodermal components becoming trapped along with their closure sites and account for the most common germinative ovarian tumor in reproductive-aged women. These patients may have a reduced risk of morbidity if they receive an accurate diagnosis and extensive follow-up care. These cysts are often evaluated using one of the following imaging techniques: computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, pelvic ultrasonography, or transvaginal ultrasound. Laparoscopy and laparotomy are the 2 surgical procedures typically used to remove persistent or exceptionally large cysts. Leakage of cyst contents during surgery is a common postoperative complication that can seldom, but occasionally, results in chemical peritonitis. We discuss a case of a significant dermoid cyst that developed in an older woman and was successfully removed via laparoscopic surgery. This instance is instructive for other physicians who may encounter a similar pathology.
卵巢皮样囊肿，也称为成熟畸胎瘤，是一种生长缓慢的良性胚胎性肿瘤。它们是外胚层成分与其闭合部位一起被困住的结果，是育龄女性中最常见的生殖细胞性卵巢肿瘤。如果这些患者得到准确的诊断和广泛的后续护理，其发病风险可能会降低。这些囊肿通常使用以下成像技术之一进行评估：计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像、盆腔超声检查或经阴道超声检查。腹腔镜检查和剖腹手术是通常用于切除持续性或异常大囊肿的两种外科手术。手术期间囊肿内容物泄漏是一种常见的术后并发症，很少但偶尔会导致化学性腹膜炎。我们讨论了一例发生在老年女性身上的巨大皮样囊肿病例，该囊肿通过腹腔镜手术成功切除。这个病例对其他可能遇到类似病理情况的医生具有指导意义。
