Siegel, M.D.: "Re: Bilateral dermoids" It seems to me that the figure of 15% has been quoted everywhere, based on someone's original figure from some text book and it has become part of the "folklore". There have been one or two studies on U/S discovered masses in the pelvis and at least one of them, for which I can't find my reference, shows that in 50% of cases another (usually small) dermoid can be found in the contralateral ovary. By the way a male would call himself a "masseur"!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
