다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Rupture of benign cystic teratoma is a rare and interesting gynecologic entity, to be divided into two main groups of intraperitoneal rupture and rupture into hollow viscus. Many explantaton have been advanced to explain rupture of these tumors, among which torsion with infarction and gangrene, trauma, infection and malignant degeneration are considered prominent. Many cases still remain unexplained and other factors such as prolonged pressure as would occur in labor, and idiopathic causes must be considered important. Here three cases of dermoid cyst rupture including spontaneous intrapertoneal rupture due to malignant degeneration and rupture into bladder have been presented with a brief of literature.
