Teratoma of the Ovary
A mature cystic teratoma of the ovary ("dermoid cyst"). Dermoid cysts tend to occur in younger women. These cysts can grow quite large - up to 15 cm across. These cysts often contain odd contents such as hair, parts of teeth or bone, fatty tissue, etc. This is because these cysts develop from cells which make eggs in the ovary. An egg has the potential to develop into any type of cell. So, these cysts can make different types of tissue. In about 1 in 10 cases a dermoid cyst develops in both ovaries. More than half of dermoid cysts resolve and disappear within a few months, especially when they are small. Dermoid cysts can run in families.
