Abstract
One case of a rare complication of dermoid ovarian cyst is reported: i nfection. Sonographic examination was not helpful, mainly due to a gre at quantity of gas within the mass. However radiography of the abdomen with the patient upright and CT showed a gas-fluid level, teeth and p resence of fat. These findings permitted diagnosis of a complicated ov arian dermoid cyst before surgery.
