Incidental Tubal Dermoid During Laparoscopic Hysterectomy for Uterine Fibroids: A Case Report

Teratomas, originating from germ cells, are categorized into mature and immature types and are among the most common neoplasms in young individuals, more frequently affecting females than males.Ovarian teratomas account for 16-20% of all ovarian tumors, typically appearing in middle age.While mature ovarian teratomas are prevalent, tubal teratomas are exceedingly rare, with only 75 cases reported worldwide.This case report presents a 40-year-old female diagnosed with multiple uterine fibroids, who underwent a total laparoscopic hysterectomy.Incidentally, a tubal dermoid was discovered during the procedure.The surgery was completed successfully without any post-operative complications, highlighting the importance of thorough intraoperative assessment and the efficacy of laparoscopic hysterectomy in managing complex gynecological conditions.

Abstract

Teratomas, originating from germ cells, are categorized into mature and immature types and are among the most common neoplasms in young individuals, more frequently affecting females than males.Ovarian teratomas account for 16-20% of all ovarian tumors, typically appearing in middle age.While mature ovarian teratomas are prevalent, tubal teratomas are exceedingly rare, with only 75 cases reported worldwide.This case report presents a 40-year-old female diagnosed with multiple uterine fibroids, who underwent a total laparoscopic hysterectomy.Incidentally, a tubal dermoid was discovered during the procedure.The surgery was completed successfully without any post-operative complications, highlighting the importance of thorough intraoperative assessment and the efficacy of laparoscopic hysterectomy in managing complex gynecological conditions.
