Endometriosis coexisting with a dermoid cyst of the ovary is extraordinarily rare, although both these benign conditions are said to be common in women in the reproductive age group. There are only two previous case reports,which is evident from our literature review from January 1960 through January 2010. Acute abdomen is one of the greatest diagnostic challenges and easily ignored by the clinicians to exclude the possibility of gynecologic illness. A 35-year-old woman was referred by the doctor in Family clinic. She experienced a three-day period of severe right lower abdominal pain and intermittent vomiting. Ultrasonography identified a bilocular, cystic, hypoechoic, and hyperechoic tumor, 7 cm × 6 cm × 6 cm in the right adnexal region. Laparoscopic cystectomy was performed under the impression of ovarian cyst with torsion or hemorrhage. The frozen section was benign and appendiceal status was adequate. Histopathologic examination described an ovarian cyst composed of endometrial-type lining with stromacells (endometriosis) and benign teratoma tissue with plenty of skin appendages and sebaceous glands. We report this unusual and interesting ovarian mass to remind physicians that the usage of the Endobag after cystectomy, the benefits on minimizing operative time, spilled opportunity, and postoperative complications. Laparoscopic techniques for large ovarian masses might be considered. The experience of the surgeon is also very important to prevent misdiagnosis or complication. Further follow up is mandatory for this simultaneous finding of ovarian endometriosis with coincidental dermoid cyst as a separate pathology in single ovary of such a nature. It also presents a challenge to the clinicians and to the pathologists.

A dermoid cyst of the head and neck region is a relatively infrequent occurrence and accounts for only 6.9% of all dermoid cysts. Its anatomical distribution is the orbit, floor of the mouth, other midline and nose in the order of frequency. A dermoid cyst of the parotid gland is extremely rare, and due to this and the absence of pathognomonic findings, it is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Thus thorough and careful examination including ultrasonic study is needed to evaluate this lesion. It must be differentiated from malignant tumors and other cystic lesions. Dermoid cysts usually recur after simple excision, so it is mandatory to excise it completely with a parotidectomy. This paper presents two cases of parotid gland dermoid cyst with a brief review of the literature.

3.Mature cystic teratoma of the lung.

Intrathoracic teratomas are usually seen in the mediastinum; they rarely occur in the lung as intrapulmonary teratomas. The criteria for pulmonary origin are the exclusion of a gonadal site or other extragonadal primary sites and the exclusive origin of the tumour from the lung. Lung teratomas, for reasons unknown, commonly involve the upper lobe. Here, we report the case of a mature cystic teratoma (dermoid cyst) in the right middle lobe of the lung in a 22-year-old man. We present the clinical and radiological features, as well as histopathological findings, and discuss the relevant literature.
