Massive ovarian edema and contralateral mature cystic teratoma: asymptomatic presentation in a premenarchal female.
Massive ovarian edema is a rare entity, which in most cases occurs in adult females presenting with abdominal pain. We present an unusual case associated with contralateral teratoma in a premenarchal female. ⋯ Recognition of this rare condition is important to avoid overtreatment of massive ovarian edema. Intraoperative biopsy is recommended as an alternative to oophorectomy in this patient group.
