Concurrent Mature and Immature Teratomas in Contralateral Ovaries in a 30-Year-Old Woman: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mature ovarian teratomas account for 20% of all adnexal tumors and consist of mature elements from all 3 germ layers. Immature teratomas are much rarer, comprising only 3% of clinical cases. These tumors, which arise from primordial germ cells, can contain both differentiated and undifferentiated tissue, primarily neuroepithelium. It is very rare for a single patient to have both gonads affected, especially by 2 different types of teratomas. This report describes the case of a 30-year-old woman with a right ovarian mature cystic teratoma and a left ovarian immature teratoma. CASE REPORT This report discusses the case of a 30-year-old woman who presented with tumors on both ovaries. Both lesions were surgically removed and histologically analyzed. An immature teratoma was diagnosed on the left ovary and a mature one on the right one. The patient received chemotherapy, which was discontinued due to complications. Follow-up imaging revealed no recurrences. The patient remains under oncological care with regular follow-ups. CONCLUSIONS In cases of diagnostic uncertainty, computed tomography (CT) is recommended, as it provides detailed imaging of the tumor's structure. The most important element of diagnosing both mature and immature teratomas, providing a clear and indisputable diagnosis, is a histopathological examination. Unfortunately, these tumors do not usually cause specific symptoms. This report highlights the importance of thorough histological sampling and evaluation of ovarian tumors, including ovarian mature cystic teratoma, so that malignant elements are not missed and patients receive appropriate management.
