Collision Tumor of the Ovary. Adjunction Cystic Teratoma and Serous Cystic Adenofi broma. Presentation of a Rare Case Sofoudis C Louis K Papamargaritis E Lenos MGerolymatos A<p>Ovarian cystic teratomas consist of germ cell tumors. They appear in female patients aged 20-40</p><p>years, comprising 15% of all ovarian neoplasms. These tumors appear in 90% of cases unilateral. Benign</p><p>serous cyst-adenofi bromas represent the most common ovarian epithelial tumor, with an incidence</p><p>of 42%, accounting 83% of serous ovarian tumors. The mean diameter estimates among 5 and 35 cm,</p><p>with a bilateral incidence of 35%. A collision tumor is composed of two adjacent, histological distinct</p><p>neoplasms without the histological intermixture of cell types in the same organ or tissue. According to</p><p>current bibliography, these tumor types can be depicted in various organs including esophagus, stomach,</p><p>liver, lung, thyroid, and kidney and of course ovary. There are few reported cases describing the ovarian</p><p>type. The objective of our study refl ects the depiction of a rare collision ovarian tumor properly diagnosed and treated. The therapeutic mapping is strongly accompanied with the age and the fertility preservation of the patient.</p> Journal of Surgery and Surgical Research - Peertechz Publications 2018-06-04 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-2968.000051 en Copyright © Sofoudis C et al.
