Growing teratoma syndrome, a disease characterized by presence of benign
metastasis increasing in size and number after chemotherapy, is infrequent
occurrence. Being unfamiliar with the disease entity, many oncologists
misinterpret it as disease progression. Though the exact etio-pathognesis of the
disease is still unidentified, but clinical characteristics are well defined.
Being a chemo and radio-resistant disease, surgery offers only cure. We present a
case of ovarian immature teratoma, who after chemotherapy presented with
increased tumor size. Resected specimen confirms the diagnosis of mature teratoma
leading to recognition of GTS. Surgery resulted in cure.
