Abstract | Ovarian tumors are a common type of neoplasm in women, with mature cystic teratomas being the most frequent variant. These tumors occur bilaterally in approximately 10% of cases. However, bilateral and multiple occurrences are rarely reported. A 22-year-old nulliparous woman presented with amenorrhea and sudden, generalized, dull lower abdominal pain. Diagnostic imaging, including ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scans, revealed large solid-cystic lesions in both ovaries, with internal hyperechoic foci consistent with fat and calcification, along with thin internal septations. A laparoscopic cystectomy was successfully performed, preserving ovarian function. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of stratified keratinized squamous epithelium, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, mature adipose tissue, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels within the resected cysts, with no evidence of malignancy. This unique case provides valuable insights into the understanding and management of bilateral dermoid cysts, highlighting the importance of preserving ovarian function in young women.
