This year-old patient was admitted due to ovarian tumor, which was suspected to be [[right, left, bilateral]] {{endometrioma, benign ovarian tumor of unknown nature, serous cystadenoma, mucinous cystadenoma, dermoid cyst, ovarian ectopic pregnancy, abscess, others}}, complicated with {{no complication, rupture, torsion}}. The diagnosis was made by [[ultrasound, CT, MRI, PE/PV]], with symptom of {{no symptom, abdominal fullness, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, infertility, GI upset, other}}.

Operation procedure:

An elliptical incision was made over the wall of the ovarian tumor through the cortex. A plane is developed and the tumor was mobilized by sharp and blunt dissection. Once the tumor is removed, the inner ovarian stroma was approximated with a purse-string of 2-0 chromic to achieve hemostasis. The cortex is closed with a running suture of 2-0 chromic.
