The ovary is second only to the sacroccygeal area as the commonest anatomic site for the occurrence of teratomas (including dermoid cysts) in infancy and childhood. While virtually all sacrococcygeal teratomas are present at birth or appear within the first 24 mo of life, ovarian teratomas are quite rare within the first 24 mo of life and seldom appear before 6 yr of age. Teratomas comprise half the surgically significant lesions of the ovary in infancy and childhood and carry a mean malignancy incidence of approximately 14% in this age group. Seven cases of ovarian teratoma in the first 2 yr of life have been reported. All of these have been seen in the second 12 mo of life. They differ from those occurring after 2 yr of age in the lesser incidence of abdominal pain, the higher incidence of an abdominal mass and the absence of reported malignancy.

During the thirty-three years from 1941 through 1973, forty-two children with ovarian teratomas were seen. The most common complaint was that of abdominal pain and the most common physical finding was palpable lower abdominal mass. Thirty-seven patients had ovarian teratomas with nature tissues only. Of these, two patients have been lost to follow-up and the remainder are alive and well. One patient had teratoma containing mature and immature tissues (embryonic); this patient has remained well since operation. Four patients had malignant teratoma. Of these, two patients are dead due to the tumor and the two are living and well for six and nine years, respectively.

This is a review of cases of ovarian cyst encountered in childhood in the Manchester children's hospitals. The patients presented with acute or recurrent abdominal pain or an abdominal or pelvic mass. The commonest cyst found was a teratoma, which was discovered because of its size or because of a complication. All but one of the girls with teratomas had not reached puberty. After puberty the cysts were follicular or luteal in type, although there was one case of cystadenoma. Complications in the form of torsion, rupture which haemoperitoneum or haemorrhage into the cyst were common. Treatment consisted of ovarian cystectomy, oophorectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy, and the results were satisfactory.

We report a case retroperitoneal mature teratoma showing an abnormally high CA19-9 (carbohydrate antigen 19-9) serum level in a 30-year-old woman. She was hospitalized for an episode of left upper abdominal pain. High CA19-9 tissue level and immunohistochemical findings were found in removed tissue. This case is the third report of a CA19-9-producing teratoma and literature was reviewed and discussed.

Supernumerary ovary is a rarely described gynecologic finding. A 47-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and a palpable lower abdominal mass. The mass, removed in a partial omentectomy, was found to consist of a supernumerary ovary with a cystic teratoma.

Two cases of coexisting mature teratoma and thecoma are reported. In Case 1, a 36-year-old woman presented with severe genital bleeding and an ovarian tumor, 12 x 9 cm in size, was found. In Case 2, a 48-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with severe lower abdominal pain and an ovarian tumor, 15 x 11 cm in size, was detected. Macroscopically, the resected tumors of both cases showed a unilocular cystic tumor adjacent to a solid tumor. Microscopically, the cystic tumors were composed of cutaneous tissues and the solid tumors consisted of spindle cells with lipid-rich cytoplasm, arranged in interlacing bundles. The cystic tumor and the solid tumor were completely separate and no transitional features were recognized histologically.

We report a case of extramammary Paget's disease in ovarian mature cystic teratoma. The patient was a 70-year-old Japanese woman who complained of lower abdominal pain. Examination showed elevation of carcinoembryonic antigen and CA 19-9. Ultrasonography and computer tomography revealed a cystic tumor of the left ovary. The gross appearance of the resected ovary was typical for mature cystic teratoma. Microscopic observation revealed a lesion of Paget's disease within the squamous epithelium. The tumor cells had intracytoplasmic mucin and positive immunoreactivity for carcinoembryonic antigen, epithelial membrane antigen, and cytokeratin; but they were negative for S-100 protein and vimentin. On multiple and serial sections, underlying adenocarcinomas were not found either in the ovary or other primary sites. From these pathological findings, we concluded that the disease was an intraepithelial adenocarcinoma, possibly derived from multipotential cells in squamous epithelium of ovarian mature cystic teratoma. This is the first reported case, to our knowledge, of extramammary Paget's disease arising in mature cystic teratoma of the ovary.

In a 21-year-old virgin suffering from increasing abdominal pain, laparotomy revealed two tumors arising from the parametria. Microscopic examination showed them to be mature teratomas. Teratomas located in the parametria have not been described in literature previously.

A 53-year-old man was admitted with complaint of left lower abdominal pain. Retrovesical tumor was suggested after digital examination and imaging diagnosis. At operation, the encapsulated tumor occupied the retrovesical space, but was not adhered to the adjacent organs such as prostate, seminal vesicles, bladder and rectum. The entire tumor was successfully resected. Histopathological report revealed a mature teratoma. He is alive without recurrence at 1 year after operation. This is the second case of retrovesical teratoma in the Japanese literature.

A series of 96 patients who were diagnosed with 120 ovarian neoplasms at surgery have been reviewed. Nine types of benign ovarian cysts were encountered. Benign cystic teratoma with an incidence of 30% was the commonest tumor. The majority of these were in the 20-30 year age range. The mean age of the patients with mucinous cyst adenoma and benign cystic teratoma was significantly less (P less than 0.05) than those with serous cyst adenoma. The incidence of ovarian malignancies of 8.3% was low, and none of the malignancies was bilateral. There was a high incidence of 8.3% of malignant change in benign cystic teratomas. Abdominal pain and swelling were the symptoms most frequently experienced in patients with benign ovarian neoplasms.
