Abstract: Mature cystic ovarian teratomas, also known as dermoid cysts, are common benign ovarian neoplasms. These tumors are composed of tissues from all three germ cell layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Once diagnosed, prompt management is essential due to risk of complications such as torsion and rupture. Here we present the case of a 14-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain and was found to have a giant ovarian cysts. She underwent successful surgical management and had an unremarkable postoperative course, with no complications noted at follow-up.
