Comments:
Mature teratomas of the ovary are large cystic tumors (Dermoid cyst) with an average size of about 15 cm (range 0.5 - 40 cm). The external surface is smooth and grayish white. The interior is fluid-filled and frequently contains yellow-white keratin debris, greasy sebaceous material and tufts of hair. The image shows an intact specimen of a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary removed from an 18 y/o female. See opened specimen in the next image.
