ABSTRACT

Se presenta una paciente de 85 años de edad con un teratoma gigante de ovario torcido, quien acude a consulta por dolor abdominal agudo. Al examen físico se comprobó aumento de volumen de todo el abdomen. Se realizó ultrasonido y tomografía simple de abdomen, y se encontró un gran tumor abdominal (20 cm) compatible con teratoma quístico de ovario, que debido al antecedente del dolor abdominal y las características tomográficas, se sospechó que estuviese torcido, lo que motivó el tratamiento quirúrgico inmediato y se comprobó la posibilidad diagnóstica planteada. La evolución posoperatoria resultó favorable, y una vez la paciente completamente restablecida fue dada de alta. Los teratomas constituyen un hallazgo infrecuente en la mujer anciana, no obstante, no se debe olvidar que existen


This is the case of a female patient aged 85 presenting with a giant teratoma of a twisted ovary that came to consultation due to acute abdominal pain. At physical examination it was noted a total increase of the abdomen volume. Ultrasound was used as well as abdomen simple tomography, founding a big abdominal tumor (20 cm) compatible with the ovarian cystic teratoma that due to the abdominal pain background and the tomography features arise the suspicions of a twisted ovary, leading to the immediate surgical treatment verifying the proposed diagnostic possibility. The postoperative course was favorable and again the patient completely recovery was discharged. The teratomas are an uncommon finding in elderly woman; nevertheless, it is impossible to forget its presence
