Agarwal et al in 2003 (6) discuss the pattern of such condition and reviewed their clinical course, he reviewed 20 cases of AIHA associated with
dermoid cyst, 85% of them respond to cystectomy after failed corticosteroids and one under went cystectomy shortly after diagnosis who showed some response to steroid management.
Because of this, and because the capsule was intact and there were no signs in favour of invasion preoperatively, the unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy under emergency conditions for the prediagnosis of

He was admitted for further treatment under the impression of infected
