Dermoid cysts are common ovarian lesions that are often asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on sonography done for some other causes. These lesions are mostly benign and have an indolent course. However, one of the rarest complications is encountered when dermoid cysts of the ovary invade into adjacent viscera making it a diagnostic dilemma for the radiologists to determine the source and nature of the lesion. Here we describe the case of a 42-year-old female who had a left ovarian dermoid cyst invading through the wall of the urinary bladder into the bladder lumen.
