Finally
I was on call Tuesday, and in the evening (about 8 PM) we started a laparoscopy on a 25 year old gal who came to the gyne's office with a complaint of abdominal pain. I got her off to sleep, and the surgeon found a left ovarian mass - a dermoid cyst.

A dermoid cyst is a cystic teratoma that contains developmentally mature skin complete with hair follicles and sweat glands, sometimes clumps of long hair, and often pockets of sebum, blood, fat, bone, nails, teeth, eyes, cartilage, and thyroid tissue. Because it contains mature tissue, a dermoid cyst is almost always benign. The rare malignant dermoid cyst usually develops squamous cell carcinoma in adults; in babies and children it usually develops endodermal sinus tumor.


The arrow points to a long hair that came out:

Here's what it looked like when he brought it out of the abdomen:

I think I have one of those in my protuberant belly. What kind of complaints would I need to voice to get Kaiser to do an MRI on me?

from the wiki page you linked>>>>>

"Periorbital dermoid cystsDermoid cysts can appear in young children, often near the lateral aspect of the eyebrow (right part of the right eyebrow or left part of the left eyebrow). They often have rubbery feet. These are sometimes watched and sometimes excised. An inflammatory reaction can occur if the dermoid cyst is disrupted.

Dermoid cysts can recur if not completely excised. Sometimes, complete excision is not practical if in a dumbbell configuration where the cyst extends through a suture line in the skull.

If the dermoid cysts appear on the medial aspect, the possibility of an encephalocele becomes greater and should be considered among the differential diagnosis.

"

is the feet sentence a mistake.. 'a rubbery feel' perhaps?

Makes me kind of grateful for my recently acquired ganglion cyst. I can't imagine something coming out of me that had hair, nails and eyes.

I took one of those out of a horse's neck once. The inside was all gross and green and oozie with a big wad of hair. Yuck.

Yeah. Am I reading that right? Nails? Eyes?
