ABSTRACT
@#Immature cystic teratoma (IMCT) is a rare ovarian malignancy, usually presenting as a huge unilateral pelvoabdominal mass in the pediatric age. Even rarer is the occurrence of a concomitant contralateral mature cystic teratoma. Management issues include use of fertility sparing versus complete surgical staging, and the use of chemotherapy. Fortunately, IMCT carries a good prognosis, especially when diagnosed early. Chemotherapy is used only in higher stage disease and recurrence.
