Can ovarian cysts grow hair and teeth?
Yes. It is called a Dermoid Cyst. A dermoid cyst is a saclike growth that is present at birth. It contains structures such as hair, fluid, teeth, or skin glands that can be found on or in the skin. Dermoid cysts grow slowly and are not tender unless ruptured. They usually occur on the face, inside the skull, on the lower back, and in the ovaries. Ovarian dermoid cysts can develop in a woman during her reproductive years. They can cause torsion, infection, rupture, and cancer. These dermoid cysts can be removed with either conventional surgery or laparoscopy (surgery that uses small incisions and specially designed instruments to enter the abdomen or pelvis).

Mass of hair and teeth?
This sounds like a dermoid cyst. Here is some information: Dermoid Cyst Overview A dermoid cyst is a saclike growth that is present at birth. It contains structures such as hair, fluid, teeth, or skin glands that can be found on or in the skin. Dermoid cysts grow slowly and are not tender unless ruptured. They usually occur on the face, inside the skull, on the lower back, and in the ovaries. Superficial dermoid cysts on the face usually can be removed without complications. Removal of other, rarer dermoid cysts requires special techniques and training. These rarer dermoid cysts occur in 4 major areas: Dermoid cysts in the brain: Dermoid cysts occur very rarely here. A neurosurgeon may need to remove them if they cause problems. Dermoid cysts in the nasal sinuses: These are also very rare. Only a handful of cases involving dermoid cysts located here are reported each year. Removal of these cysts is extremely complicated. Ovarian dermoid cysts: These growths can develop in a woman during her reproductive years. They can cause torsion, infection, rupture, and cancer. These dermoid cysts can be removed with either conventional surgery or laparoscopy (surgery that uses small incisions and specially designed instruments to enter the abdomen or pelvis). Dermoid cysts of the spinal cord: A sinus tract, which is a narrow connection from a deep pit in the skin, usually connects these very rare cysts to the skin surface. This type of dermoid cyst can become infected. Removal is often incomplete, but the outcome is usually excellent. More at the source: http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/sdermoid-cyst

Well it depends on the cyst and where and how attached it is i think, I had an ovarian cyst the size of two grapefruits on my right fallopian tube/ovary, and when i had to get emergency surgery to get it removed they said they may have to just remove my right tube and ovary but i would've still been able to have had children, luckily i still have all my parts haha but i hope this relieves some anxiety for you!!
Does tubular pregnancy affect future pregnancy?
Sometimes it can if the ovarian tube had to be removed. By losing the one ovarian tube you lose the ovulation power from that ovary, dropping your pregnancy chances by 50%. If the ovarian tube was not removed then there should be no effect on your ovulation, but leaves you more vulnerable to more tubular pregnancies. Best of luck!
