RESUMEN
Presentar dos casos con malignización de teratoma maduro de ovario. Con clínica inicial inespecífica y aumento progresivo de la circunferencia abdominal. En ambos el ultrasonido y la TAC de abdomen revelaron imágenes de aspecto tumoral por lo que se realizaron otros estudios, no identificando enfermedad a distancia. La biopsia definitiva de la intraoperatoria del anexo derecho e izquierdo respectivamente de cada caso, concluyó adenocarcinoma bordeline mucinoso y adenocarcinoma borderline seroso en un teratoma maduro de ovario. El estadio clínico fue IIIC y recibieron quimioterapia adyuvante. Ambos se mantienen libres de enfermedad
