A member asked:

Dermoid cyst on one of my ovaries can i get the same to my other ovary?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, less likely: Benign cystic teratomas, or dermoid cysts, are germ cell tumors of the ovary that account for 20-25% of all ovarian tumors and are bilateral in 10-15% of cases.1 They have a low incidence of malignancy, reported as 1-3%.
