Benign cystic teratoma of ovary perforating into small intestine with co-existent typhoid fever. Indian Journal of Gastroenterology. 2005 Sep-Oct; 24(5): 216-7http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/64481Intra-peritoneal rupture or perforation into adjacent abdominal viscera is a rare complication of benign cystic teratoma (dermoid cyst) of the ovary. We report a 48-year-old woman in whom an ovarian dermoid cyst perforated into a loop of the small bowel. The patient had co-existing typhoid fever, which probably predisposed to this complication. She recovered on antibiotic therapy and after surgical excision.engFemaleHumansIntestinal Perforation --etiologyMiddle AgedOvarian Neoplasms --complicationsRupture, Spontaneous --etiologyTeratoma --complicationsTyphoid Fever --complicationsCase Reports
