CASE 717: MATURE OVARIAN TERATOMA, Dr PHAN THANH HẢI, Dr NGUYÊN PHƯỚC TOÀN, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM

 A 23 year-old girl in annual general check-up with raised CA 19-9= 230u/mL.

Ultrasound detected a mixed tumor of the right ovary.

MRI confirmed the right ovary teratoma,  which represented  #110×98 ×100mm mass, well -limited capsule,  fatty tissue in majority. And normal chest X-ray. 

Endoscopic surgery removed the right ovary teratoma and  the value of  CA 19-9 came back to normal value=23.9u/mL.

Annual check-up for everyone's  health is really necessary.
