| Abstract |
:
Mature ovarian teratomas are common in children. These well differentiated tumors are typically confined to the ovary. In rare cases, they can rupture leading to granulomatous peritonitis that mimics carcinomatosis. Ovarian tumors with peritoneal/omental implants suggest malignant pathology with a different prognosis. |
