Two cases of coexisting mature teratoma and thecoma are reported. In Case 1, a 36 year old woman presented with severe genital bleeding and an ovarian tumor, 12x9 cm in size, was found. In Case 2, a 48‐year‐old postmenopausal woman presented with severe lower abdominal pain and an ovarian tumor, 15x11 cm in size, was detected. Macro‐scopically, the resected tumors of both cases showed a unilocular cystic tumor adjacent to a solid tumor. Microscopically, the cystic tumors were composed of cutaneous tissues and the solid tumors consisted of spindle cells with lipid rich cytoplasm, arranged in interlacing bundles. The cystic tumor and the solid tumor were completely separate and no transitional features were recognized histologically. Acta Pathol Jpn 41: 922‐926, 1991.
