The objective of this study was to compare Multidedector computerised tomography (MDCT) imaging findings of immature teratoma with mature cystic teratoma. The MDCT findings of the patient with pathologically proven immature teratoma were reviewed for tumor size, presence and characteristics of fatty content, solid components, presence of ascites, and implants. On CT images all lesions appeared to be fat-containing tumors with solid components consisting of numerous cysts of various sizes. Punctate foci of fat were identified in all lesions. The MDCT images of immature teratoma predominantly showed solid components consisting fewer foci of adipose tissue and calcifications, whereas predominant fluid, fat and calcifications were present in mature cystic teratoma.
