Objective: To evaluate safety and efficacy, in terms of spillage risk and ovarian tissue preservation, of mesial incision for laparoscopic dermoid cystectomy.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Setting: University.
Patient(s): Sixty-seven women with dermoid cysts.
Intervention(s): Laparoscopic dermoid cystectomy performed by mesial incision (33 patients, study group) or antimesial incision (34 patients, control group).
Main Outcome Measure(s): Spillage of intracystic content rate, operative times, chemical peritonitis rate, and intraoperative blood loss (ΔHb) as primary outcomes. Postoperative ovarian reserve (ΔFSH levels, basal antral follicle number, mean ovarian diameter, and peak systolic velocity at 3 and 12 months after surgery) as secondary outcome.
Result(s): Spillage of intracystic content rate and operative time were significantly lower in the study than in the control group. None developed chemical peritonitis. ΔHb was higher in the study group but not significantly. During the follow-up, median FSH values were significantly lower in the study group, with no differences in the E(2) levels. Moreover, median basal antral follicle number, median ovarian diameter, and median peak systolic velocity were significantly higher in the study group.
Conclusion(s): Ovarian mesial-side incision appears to be a safe as well as tissue-sparing technique.

Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare entity among primary ovarian cancers. This type of cancer typically originates from the transformation of mature cystic teratomas, commonly known as dermoid cysts, and occasionally from associations with endometriosis or Brenner's tumors. The typical clinical scenario involves presentation in postmenopausal women, with symptoms arising from tumor growth or metastasis.

This is the case of a 22-year-old female who arrived at our institution after experiencing refractory insomnia, disorganized behavior, inappropriate laughter, and anorexia. Upon admission, a physical examination revealed mutism, irritability, and visual hallucinations. Infectious, metabolic, and other, alternative, causes for the presenting symptoms were excluded.

Developmental cyst is occasionally seen in children but are less common in adults. Complete removal of developmental cyst is necessary because there are risk of infection, squamous cell carcinoma, and recurrence due to incomplete resection. The best approach for resection of developmental cyst is still controversial.

Background/aim: Ovarian tumors are a common type of neoplasm in women, with mature cystic teratomas being the most frequent variant. These tumors occur bilaterally in approximately 10% of cases. However, bilateral and multiple occurrences are rarely reported.

Article Synopsis
- - The occurrence of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in females of reproductive age is uncommon, accounting for about 1-2% of all pregnancies, with only 20% of those resulting in rupture.
- - Ovarian torsion occurs in 2-5% of cases, with dermoid cysts present in roughly 25% of those torsion cases, making the simultaneous presentation of both conditions significantly rare.
- - A case study of a 32-year-old woman revealed she suffered from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and right ovarian torsion with a dermoid cyst, among other issues, necessitating emergency surgical intervention for her survival.
