This paper describes the case of a woman who complained of pelvic pain. She underwent a transvaginal ultrasound which revealed the presence of bilateral ovarian teratomas. She then underwent a laparoscopy in which 7 teratomas and one simple cyst were found and resected from the right ovary; 6 additional teratomas were found within the ovary following left-hand side salpingoophorectomy. This case is reported to increase the body of literature concerning multiple ovarian lesions and because no other reports about such a large amount of multiple teratomas which have been handled by laparoscopy despite the size and the number of the tumors could be found after conducting extensive research.Author Biographies
