MATEO-SANEZ, Henry A. et al. Preservation of fertility in a patient with bilateral teratoma. Case report and literature review. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, suppl.2, pp.84-89. Epub 08-Fev-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000480.
Germ cell tumors are a variant of ovarian tumors, with teratoma being the most frequent. Of the total number of diagnosed ovarian tumors, 12% are found in patients of childbearing age. In this case, we present a 22-year-old patient who comes to a consultation with a presumptive diagnosis of bilateral teratoma in search of therapeutic alternatives, since she was originally presented with a bilateral oophorectomy. After a complete approach, the diagnosis was corroborated and tumor resection was carried out, achieving complete enucleation of both teratomas, preserving the ovarian tissue, thus its functionality and fertility.
