Abstract

<p> A benign mature cystic teratoma is the most frequently encountered ovarian neoplasm, accounting for about 20% of all ovarian neoplasia cases and more than 50% in adolescent patients. Tumors developing in the bilateral ovaries have been found in 10% of reported cases, with the existence of two in an ovary occasionally noted, whereas multiple tumors in the bilateral ovaries of an adolescent are rarely encountered.</p><p>A 16-year-old female was referred to our hospital because of multiple intraabdominal masses detected by computed tomography in an examination performed because of a febrile episode. We conducted magnetic resonance imaging, which showed multiple cystic teratomas in the intraabdominal cavity, with the possibility that some were teratomatosis peritonei. Laparoscopy findings demonstrated that all were derived from the bilateral ovaries and negative for teratomatosis peritonei. A bilateral ovarian cystectomy under a laparotomy approach was performed. Her menstrual cycle, which had been irregular prior to the operation, became regular thereafter, with no reappearance of an ovarian tumor up to 18 months after the procedure.
