Abstract

Abstract: Adenocarcinomas of intestinal type arising in mature cystic teratoma of ovary (MCT) are extremely rare and remain a diagnostic dilemma because of its similarities with MCT. Serum tumor markers CEA and SCC and also MRI may help in the preoperative diagnosis. Pathologist experience helps in intraoperative diagnosis.
