Article Abstract
Intracranial dermoid cysts are exceptionally rare tumors. Interestingly, this condition has a low mortality rate but a high morbidity rate due to its numerous complications. We report a case of a 62-year-old man who presented with a headache and was found to have a ruptured dermoid cyst, complicated with the dissemination of lipid droplets within the subarachnoid space.

Introduction: Simultaneous presentation of acute appendicitis and ovarian torsion is rare and requires urgent surgical intervention due to the high risk of complications, including sepsis and mortality. While adnexal torsion is a known cause of acute abdomen in reproductive-age women, co-presentation with appendicitis is exceptionally uncommon. This case underlines the importance of considering gynecological differentials in women presenting with acute abdominal pain.

BACKGROUND Primary retroperitoneal tumors (PRTs) are uncommon, with retroperitoneal dermoid cysts being particularly rare. The cystic cavity of mature cystic teratomas (dermoid cysts) is lined with squamous epithelium and primarily filled with sebaceous material. These lesions often lack specific symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis.

Mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) are common ovarian neoplasms that rarely undergo malignant transformation, particularly in pediatric patients. We report a rare case of a 5-year-old girl presenting with abdominal distension and back pain, initially managed with incomplete excision of an ovarian mass without histopathological evaluation. Recurrence led to debulking surgery revealing a mixed germ cell tumor, and subsequent imaging identified a residual abdominopelvic mass with elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels.
