Abstract
Mature cystic teratoma is the most common benign germ cell tumor of the ovary. More than 80% of MCTs develop during the reproductive year. About 1% of the dermoid cysts undergo malignant transformation, most commonly squamous cell carcinoma in post-menopausal age group. We report a rare case of Squamous cell carcinoma transformation in mature cystic teratoma which was diagnosed and confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry.
