Abstract
Dermoid cyst is a common benign tumour of the ovary. Eighty percent of these tumours are discovered in premenopausal women. The authors repo rt a case of dermoid cyst of the left ovary, which was diagnosed in a 78-year-old woman on the basis of computed tomography (CT) findings. R adiologic findings consistent with ovarian dermoid cyst are discussed, with reference to the role of CT as a diagnostic tool.
