Cystic Teratomas are tumors of embryonic origin that are composed of pluripotent germ cells. It was presented the case of a 57-year-old woman admitted to the emergency department for presenting as a major annoyance due to a painful abdominal mass to a predominance of the mesogastric region. In the studies performed, a right adnexal mass associated with high values of the tumor marker 125 Carcinogenic Antigen (CA-125) is determined. Under the suspicion of a malignant ovarian neoplasm, added to the clinical and imaging findings, a surgical approach was chosen. Radical surgery was performed (cystectomy, extended radical hysterectomy, appendectomy, omentectomy, lymph node dissection and peritoneal lavage). The postoperative anatomopathological studies concluded with the diagnosis of a Benign Ovarian Cystic Teratoma. It has been demonstrated that this pathology represents a clinical picture of benign behavior, but in the presence of small percentages that may have a malignant course. Therefore, the principle of detection and early management for unidentified purposes of a timely medical entity is recommended.
