good explanation roopashri.
sky high just we can do exclusion if we dont know the exact diagnosis. surfal tumour doesnt generally calcify as it is not of mesoderm.and malignancies dont go for calcification.
genrally tumour that is big enough give symptoms is benign and has got torsion.

Good point Sturge...
With the benefit of hind-sight  I'd choose E...Cystic teratoma (young female, unilateral mass, areas of calcification, sudden onset acute abd pain indicating torsion n' infarction)
Serous cystadenoCa does have Psamoma bodies which is dystrophic calcification ubt I think its is older females, bilaeral, and presents with Ascites n' increased abd girth)
What say folks?
Good question there...
