ABSTRACT
Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is commonly associated with small cell lung carcinoma. A 31-year-old female presented with amnesia and bizarre behavior for 1 month. Brain T2-weighted MRI showed high signal intensity in right medial temporal region. Abdominal CT revealed a mass in right lower abdomen, and subsequent excisional biopsy disclosed immature ovarian teratoma. Most symptoms improved after resection of the tumor. Our case demonstrates that immature ovarian teratoma also can be associated with paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis with good prognosis.
