Ovarian teratoma isteratomas are usually asymptomatic and often discovered incidentally.
CT images demonstrate the typical radiological finding of mature cystic teratoma: fat-fluid level, calcification and Rokitansky protuberance.
The mass has a maximum diameter less than 10 cm and regular borders, indicative of benignity.
