Background
Ganglioneuromas (GNs) arise from peripheral or central areas of the autonomic nervous system, being benign lesions of neuroblastic origin.
Case
A 19-year-old Greek female patient was admitted to our clinic with symptoms of periodic lower abdominal pain and irritation since some months ago. Ultrasonography revealed a mass of 72 × 68 mm originating from the left ovary giving the characteristics of a typical dermoid cyst. Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy was done. The histological diagnosis revealed a mature cystic teratoma with a small hidden GN.
Summary and Conclusion
Histology remains the gold standard for their confirmation. The coexistence of GN within a mature cystic teratoma happens extremely rarely. This is one of the few cases reported in the literature.

有异常发现的常见肿瘤:含有神经节神经瘤的成熟囊性畸胎瘤。
背景
神经节神经瘤(GNs)来自植物神经系统的周围或中央区域,是成神经细胞起源的良性病变。
案件
自几个月前以来,一名19岁的希腊女性患者因周期性下腹部疼痛和刺激症状而入院。超声检查显示出来自左卵巢的72×68 mm肿块,具有典型的皮样囊肿的特征。做了腹腔镜卵巢膀胱切除术。组织学诊断显示一个成熟的囊性畸胎瘤,并带有一个小的隐藏的GN。
总结与结论
组织学仍然是证实它们的金标准。GN在成熟的囊性畸胎瘤内并存的情况极少发生。这是文献中报道的少数病例之一。
