A Pandora's box: cystic neoplasm of the ovary

Ovarian cyst is a rare neoplasm of the female reproductive system, accounting for approximately 2% to 3% of all ovarian pathologies. Germ cell tumours arise from the ovarian germinal elements. They are classified into as benign, borderline (proliferative), and malignant. Most tumors are benign, with malignant tumors accounting for less than 5% of cases. We now describe a case of large right ovarian cyst which was managed with right salphingo-oopherectomy and was subsequently reported to have ovarian germ cell tumor.
