This study in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was carried out to observe the possible pathologic aspect of five teeth grossly arranged in normal sequence and of their surrounding tissues, found inside an ovarian cystic teratoma. Though the general morphology of the teeth was nearly normal, several anomalies affected the different mineralized dental tissues such as enamel hypoplasia, irregular growth of cementum, altered predentin layer, and immature osteofibrous bony outgrowths.
