Article Abstract
Background: Immature ovarian teratoma is a rare and aggressive neoplasm that affects young women. This report is the first to describe the development of immature teratoma after ovarian cystectomy for mature teratoma of the ovary in an adolescent female with a family history of ovarian teratoma.
Case Summary: A 16-year-old girl who had undergone bilateral ovarian cystectomy for mature teratomas 3 years ago showed bilateral adnexal tumors during her regular ultrasonography follow-up every 6 months. She received laparoscopic bilateral ovarian cystectomy, and final histopathology showed grade-1 immature teratoma of the left ovary and mature teratoma of the right ovary. Laparoscopic left salpingo-oophorectomy and staging procedures were performed again. Her mother, maternal aunt, and maternal grandmother had also received surgeries for mature ovarian teratomas.
Conclusion: It is important to have guidance on management of patient and family members with familial ovarian teratomas.

Background: Ovarian mature teratomas (OMTs) are the most common benign ovarian tumors in pediatric patients. Management in adolescents can be performed by pediatric (PSs) or gynecologic surgeons (GSs). The aim of this study was to assess the differences in OMT management and the repercussions according to the risk of secondary events.

This case report highlights a rare association between anti-NMDAR encephalitis and meningioma, where the patient developed typical autoimmune encephalitis symptoms shortly after tumor resection. Unlike the well-established link with ovarian teratomas, meningioma-associated cases may involve indirect immune mechanisms, such as molecular mimicry or bystander activation, rather than direct antigen exposure. The findings emphasize the need for postoperative autoimmune screening in neurosurgical patients with unexplained neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Rationale: Struma ovarii is a rare form of mature cystic teratoma, with malignant transformation reported in approximately 5% to 10% of cases. Transformation into follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is extremely uncommon; as a result, no standardized guidelines exist for treatment or prognosis for such cases.
Patient Concerns: A 54-year-old woman with cholelithiasis presented with upper abdominal discomfort.

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.

Malignant ovarian germ cell tumors are rare in the pediatric population, particularly in children under ten years of age. We report a unique case of a mixed germ cell tumor, comprising dysgerminoma, mature and immature teratomas, and yolk sac tumor, located on an ectopic ovary, which was discovered following adnexal torsion in a 9-year-old girl with a family history of gynecological cancers. Mixed germ cell tumors present significant diagnostic challenges due to their heterogeneous histological composition and complex biological behavior.
