Chemical Peritonitis Due to Spontaneous Ruptured Teratoma: A Case Report

Abstract

One of the most common benign tumors in reproductive age women is mature Teratoma. We reported a 35-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. The patient underwent laparotomy with the probable diagnosis of ovarian torsion. The evidence in the peritoneal cavity revealed chemical peritonitis due to the spontaneous rupture of the dermoid cyst.
