Zohre Sadeghian, Joel Cardenas, Kirill Lyapichev, Albert Parlade, Elvia Goez‐Gutierrez, Amir Behdad, Esther YoonABSTRACT
Although rare, ruptured mature cystic teratoma (MCT) can cause chronic granulomatous peritonitis that mimics peritoneal carcinomatosis. In patients with a history of cystectomy for MCT, careful clinicoradiologic and histopathologic correlation is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary aggressive treatment.
