An Overview on Etiology, Diagnosis and Management of Ovarian Dermoied Cyst: Simple Review Article

Abstract

The most common neoplastic ovarian lesions in teens are mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) or dermoid cysts. Little is known about the cause of dermoid cysts. Elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone have been suggested to stimulate the sebum components of these tumors, which may explain why MCTs grow after puberty and stop growing after menopause. MCTs are often asymptomatic and are randomly identified during examination or diagnostic imaging. MCTs show a special appearance during ultrasonography. Most studies suggest that  most  ovarian dermoid cysts can be successfully treated surgically using laparoscopic surgery. Reduced adhesion formation is one of the benefits of laparoscopic treatment for dermoid cysts. Studies also suggest that laparoscopy causes less blood loss. Less hospitalization and less postoperative pain. And there are fewer postoperative problems than the laparotomy approach. In this article, we will look at the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of dermoid cysts in the ovary.
