Abstract

Mature cystic teratoma is the most common ovarian tumor in young females. We are presenting a 13-year-old African–American female with abdominal distension. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed midline cystic mass. Diagnosis was confirmed after laparoscopic left salpingo-oophorectomy. Malignant transformation of mature cystic teratoma is rare.
