Résumé
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. 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. It is important to have guidance on management of patient and family members with familial ovarian teratomas.
