Introduction: Ovarian dermoid cysts, also known as mature cystic teratomas (MCTs), account for 69% of ovarian embryonal cell tumors in young women. It is a rare type of embryonic cell tumor that can contain immature but also fully formed tissue, including teeth, hair, bones and muscles. Ganglioneuroma is a benign neurogenic tumor. These tumors originate from the neuroepithelium along the sympathetic ganglia. The main localization is the mediastinum.

Case report: We present the case of a 27-year-old female patient with a large intra-abdominal tumor mass, which after surgical removal was pathohistologically proven to be a mature ovarian teratoma. One year after the operation, a diagnostic procedure was performed to test the functionality of the tumor of the right adrenal gland. After the indicated surgical intervention, it was proved pathohistologically that it was an adrenal ganglioneuroma. The simultaneous presentation of such two very rare tumors represents a kind of rarity.
