Abstract
Our report describes an unusual presentation of mature cystic teratoma. In this case, 3 mature cystic teratomas were encountered during cesarean section, one in each round ligament and the other in the left ovary. According to the literature, round ligament is one of the rarest sites for the presentation of mature cystic teratoma. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
