Background:
Mature cystic
teratomas, often referred to as
dermoid cysts, are the most common

diagnosis of ovarian
dermoid cysts together with laparoscopic approach have greatly improved the
treatment of this benign lesion. We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of
laparoscopic surgery for suspected ovarian
dermoid cysts
