Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Pelvic ultrasonography findings. (A) 7.3×6.2 cm sized left ovary with inhomogeneous cystic lesion is noted. (B) Normal sized right ovary is demonstrated.

• 

  Fig. 2 Abdomen & pelvis computed tomography findings. CT images show 5.2×5.8 cm sized cystic mass (indicated by arrow) in the left ovary and 5.5×6.3 cm sized mass (indicated by arrowhead) composed of calcification, fat and soft tissue adjacent to rectum in the presacral area. (A) Axial view. (B) Coronal view.

• 

  Fig. 3 Microscopic findings. Histological findings of the resected specimen in left ovarian mass (A) and retroporitoneal mass (B) are composed of keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium associated with the hair and mucus, which are compatible with mature cystic teratoma (H&E stain, ×40).
