The surgical team completely removed two large tumors containing teeth, hair, bone, and skin, along with approximately 2 liters of fluid. Thanks to the timely intervention, the young woman's ovaries were fully preserved.

According to Dr. Cao Thi Thom, Department of Obstetrics, Thu Duc General Hospital, if ovarian torsion is not surgically treated promptly, it will cause blockage of the blood vessels supplying the ovary, leading to ischemia and necrosis. At that point, preservation is impossible and removal is necessary. In cases of bilateral torsion, patients risk losing their natural fertility, experiencing early endocrine disorders, premature menopause, and serious physical and psychological impacts, especially in adolescence.
