A cyst is an abnormal growth that develops as a closed sac somewhere in the body. A dermoid cyst is a specialized type containing many different kinds of tissues including hair, teeth, nerves, bone or fat. It may be present at birth and can be found in the face, spinal cord or skull. It may also develop in the ovary in women during the childbearing years as an ovarian dermoid cyst.
There are two classifications of ovarian cyst; the functional that involves the normal physiology of ovary and non-functional that is independent from the functions of the ovary. Dermoid ovarian cyst is a non-functional cyst.
Dermoid ovarian cyst is considered a cystic teratoma, consisting of mixtures of tissues not normally found in ovary that contains mature skin that is complete with sweat glands, hair follicles, pockets of stale blood, fat, bone, cartilages, nails, teeth, and even traces of thyroid tissues.
It is common among women in pre-menauposal age, those with unhealthy lifestyle like smokers and heavy drinkers, and women with irregular menstrual cycle. No statistical data available at DOH Region VII and the only available data is the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center 2012 Statistics. Statistically, there were 153 case as of 2012.
Jan-Dec 2012 total cases of ovarian cysts: 153 Breakdown: Malignant = 42 (27%) Dermoid = 31 (20%) Other types= 80 (52%)

Examination: Transvaginal Ultrasound LMP : November 28, 2012 Remarks: Posterior to the uterus and within the right adnexa is a cystic structure measuring 59. x 6.9 x 4.4 cm, thick-walled, unilocular, containing hyperechoic lines and dots. Posterior to the uterus and within the left adnexa is a cystic structure measuring 8.2 x 5.3 x 6.2 cm, thick-walled, multilocular, also containing hyperechoic lines and dots
Impression: Normal-size anteverted uterus with intact trilaminar endometrium Bilateral ovarian cyst, probably dermoid No culdesac fluid
Ovaries: - Ovaries are located close to and on both sides of the uterus in the lower abdomen. It is difficult to locate them by abdominal palpation because they are situated so low in the abdomen. - the ovaries are approximately 4 cm long by 2 cm in diameter and approximately 1.5 cm thick, or the size and shape of almonds. - they are grayish white and appear pitted, or with minute indentations on the surface. - the ovaries are held suspended and in close contact with the ends of the Fallopian tubes by three strong supporting ligaments attached to the uterus or the pelvic wall. - the function of the two ovaries is to produce, mature and discharge ova - in the process, the ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone and initiate and regulate menstrual cycles.
Pituitary Gland - Pituitary Gland is a small, bean-sized organ that is located at the base of the brain and is connected to the hypothalamus by a stalk. The pituitary gland secretes many essential hormones for growth and sexual maturation. - produces two hormones; follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone
- the second pituitary hormone, luteinizing hormone continues to rise in amount and acts on the follicle cells of the ovary. It influences the follicle cells to produce lutein, a brightyellow fluid. - lutein is high in progesterone and contains some estrogen. This yellow fluids fill the empty follicle , which is termed a corpus luteum -If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum in the ovary begins to regress after 8 to 10 days. As it regresses, the production of progesterone and estrogen decreases.
- every month during fertile period of a women's life, one of the ovary's primordial follicles is activated by follicle stimulating hormone to begin to grow and mature - as it grows, it's cells produce a clear fluid that contains a high degree of estrogen and some progesterone. - as the follicle reaches its maximum size, it is propelled toward the surface of the ovary. A full maturation the small ovum with its surrounding follicle membrane and fluid, is termed a graafian follicle. - when the graafian follicle is mature,the pituitary gland releases luteinizing hormone that increases the prostaglandin so the graafian follicle ruptures - the ovum is set free from the surface of the ovary, a process termed ovulation
