AI Article Synopsis
- Teratomas are the most common type of benign ovarian tumors found in young women, typically visible through specific imaging features like fat, teeth, or calcifications.
- They can sometimes display unusual characteristics that complicate diagnosis, especially when they lack the expected intratumoral fat.
- Complications associated with teratomas include torsion, rupture, and even malignant transformation, as highlighted by a case of a mature cystic teratoma that twisted but had no visible fat.
Article Abstract
Teratomas are the most common benign ovarian neoplasms in young women. Typical computed tomography imaging findings include fat, fat fluid level, tooth or calcification, rokitansky nodule, floating balls sign, and tufts of hair. They can have unusual imaging features leading to diagnostic dilemmas. Studies have shown the presence of intratumoral fat to be specific to ovarian cystic teratoma. However, there are reports in the literature of mature cystic teratoma that do not contain fat in the lumen of the cyst which can hinder an accurate diagnosis. They can be associated with various complications like torsion, rupture, malignant transformation, infection, and autoimmune hemolytic anemias. Presented here is a case of mature cystic teratoma without visible intracystic fat which underwent torsion.

To report the cosmetic, clinical, and visual outcomes of a combined surgical approach for treating a corneal/limbal dermoid using excision and a three-layered amniotic membrane graft with fibrin glue. An 18-year-old female presented with impaired vision and ocular discomfort caused by a prominent dome-shaped limbal congenital dermoid on the inferotemporal cornea, resulting in a significant aesthetic concern. A full assessment, including refraction, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), corneal topography, aberrometry and anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) was conducted to plan the surgical approach.

Midline Anterior Neck Inclusion Cysts (MANICs) are rare congenital anomalies caused by improper embryonic fusion. These superficial benign lesions typically appear yellowish and cystic without deeper anatomic connections. We describe an 11-month-old boy with a stable, asymptomatic, yellow, elastic cystic lesion on the midline of the anterior neck, measuring 4 mm and present since shortly after birth.

Objective: To develop and validate an individualized nomogram for predicting adnexal torsion in women with abdominal pain and an adnexal mass based on preoperative non-contrast computed tomography (CT) findings.
Methods: This retrospective study included 200 women with surgically resected ovarian lesions who underwent preoperative non-contrast CT for abdominal pain from January 2017 to September 2023 in seven hospitals. The 200 patients were randomly divided into a development group (140 cases) and a validation group (60 cases).
