Abstract:
Dermoid cysts are benign tumours affecting young patients that can derive benefits from conservative and minimally invasive surgery. MRI and endovaginal sonogram appear to be useful tools in the pre-operative selection for this surgery. Tumour markers are definitely indicated for postmenopausal patients whereas they appear less useful in young patients. With adequate pre-operative selection, both conservative and minimally invasive surgery can be applied with a clear benefit for the patient.
