Hair? Yes hair! This is a dermoid cyst, a variant of teratoma, containing hair, epidermis, sebaceous fluid, and all the other goodies! Ovarian dermoid cyst is a slow-growing teratoma that is composed of elements from multiple germ cell layers and is of a cystic nature that contains an array of developmentally mature, solid tissues. may contain substances such as skin, hair follicles, and sweat glands, while other commonly found components include clumps of long hair, pockets of sebum, blood, fat, bone, nails, teeth, eyes, cartilage, and thyroid tissue. Mature cystic teratomas of the ovary are often discovered as incidental findings on physical examination, during radiographic studies, or during abdominal surgery performed for other indications. They are diagnosed most frequently during the reproductive years, 20-40. Torsion is by far the most significant cause of morbidity, along with other less common complications such as rupture, infection, malignant degeneration, and hemolytic anemia. The treatment is largely surgical. The trick is to excise the cyst without cracking the egg or breaking open its contents.
