Discussion
In general, there are 3 types of ovarian neoplasms: germ cell, epithelial and stromal tumors. Germ cell tumors are by far the most common. Most often patients present with abdominal pain which may be secondary to size, rupture, internal hemorrhage or torsion. Ovarian teretomas are bilateral in ~10% of patients.
