Résumé
The aim of the study was to report the elevated liver function test levels in torsion of ovarian mature cystic teratoma (MCT). A retrospective review was performed of 116 patients with MCT who underwent surgery in our hospital between 2010 and 2017. Eleven of 116 patients were with torsion of MCT. Of the 11 torsion of MCT cases, 6 of those showed abnormal elevated levels of aspartate transaminase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT). After operation, AST/ALT levels recovered to normal ranges. Elevated liver function levels require attention to complications associated with anaesthesia and emergency operation. However, the current report shows that emergency surgery should not be delayed to assess other causes of elevated liver function tests.Impact statement
