Struma Ovary with Thecoma: A Rare Case Report with Review of Literature
Mature cystic teratoma, commonly referred to as a dermoid cyst, is the most common benign germ cell tumor of the ovary in women of reproductive age. Thecomas, on the other hand, are mesenchymal tumors derived from the ovarian stroma, consisting of theca-like elements. These tumors are usually unilateral and predominantly observed in menopausal patients. In this case report, we present an elderly woman with both a mature cystic teratoma and a thecoma in the same ovary.
