The malignancy of an ovarian mature teratoma is a rare find. We present two cases with nonspecific initial clinical and progressive increase in abdominal girth. In both ultrasound and CT of the abdomen revealed tumor-like images so other studies were conducted to identify distant disease. The final biopsy Annex intraoperative right and left respectively of each case, borderline mucinous adenocarcinoma concluded borderline serous adenocarcinoma in a mature teratoma of the ovary. Clinical stage was IIIC and received adjuvant chemotherapy. Both patients remain free disease.

Keywords : Mature ovarian teratoma; Malignant transformation.
