AB  - Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary may be complicated by torsion, 
rupture, and malignant change, but is rarely complicated by infection. 
Here we report two cases. One was associated with subumbilical hernia 
operation, and the other followed appendectomy. In all probability, the 
complication was due to nosocomial infection in this developing 
community. This is of forensic importance.
