Teratomas are commonly found in both ovaries and can be distinguished from ovarian cysts by their appearance. Ovarian cysts contain a fluid similar to water, whereas teratomas typically contain sebaceous fluid and may also include tissues such as hair, bones, or teeth. Under a microscope, ovarian cysts show epithelial-like changes, while teratomas exhibit changes typical of germ cells. Teratomas and ovarian cysts can also be easily differentiated using color ultrasound examinations.
