Rare Form

Az ovarialis strumák a petefészek-teratomák kevesebb mint 3%-át adják. Megjelenhet bennük a pajzsmirigy szinte minden betegsége, és előfordulhat malignitás is. A szerzők esetében egy 31 éves nő bal oldali petefészekcisztáját távolították el, amely az ovariumcarcinoma klinikai tüneteit mutatta, úgymint nagy hasi térfoglalás, ascites, emelkedett szérum-CA 125-szint. A szövettani diagnózis benignus struma ovarii volt. A posztoperatív pajzsmirigyműködés normális maradt.

Benign Ovarian Tumor

CONTEXT: Meigs' syndrome consists of a benign ovarian tumor accompanied by ascites and hydrothorax. Elevated serum CA 125 levels in postmenopausal women with solid adnexal masses, ascites and pleural effusion are highly suggestive for malignant ovarian tumor. However, patients with Meigs' syndrome can also have elevated serum CA 125 levels. The authors report a case of Meigs' syndrome with elevated CA 125 level. OBJECTIVE: This is a case report of Meigs' syndrome with elevated CA 125 level. CASE REPORT: A 65-year-old Brazilian woman had presented progressive dyspnea, weight loss and decline in general condition over the 7 months preceding admission to our service. In another hospital, the patient had been submitted to thoracic drainage due to pleural effusion. With recurrence of the pleural effusion and increase in abdominal volume due to ascites and a pelvic mass, the patient sought our service. Transvaginal ultrasound showed an extensive adnexal solid mass of 16.4 x 10.8 cm located in the pelvis without exact limits, and the serum CA 125 level was elevated. With a preoperative diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma, the patient was submitted to exploratory laparotomy, which revealed a left ovarian tumor. The frozen section diagnosis was thecoma. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. The histology of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of thecoma. The patient was asymptomatic with a normal serum CA 125 level 20 months after the operation.

Abstract BackgroundStruma ovarii is a variant of monodermal teratoma, consisting of morphologically benign, atypical, or frankly malignant thyroid tissue. Morphologic features may or may not correlate with biologic behavior. Albeit this case report is not unique, ovarian tumor developed with peritoneal dissemination and bone metastasis, which is highly unlikely clinical complication. Additionally, we summarized previously cases of struma ovarii with an emphasis on correlation between morphological appearances, clinical course and providing treatment. Case presentationWe present the 38-year-old patient who was hospitalized for ovarian tumor. The diagnostic laparoscopy revealed lesions of peritoneum, sigmoid serosa and omentum and left ovarian mass. We diagnosed left ovarian mature teratoma without struma tissue and metastatic lesions with struma morphology which can be related to her history of left ovarian struma in 2016. Taking into account the metastatic lesions revealed in 2020, the tumor removed in 2016 was assessed as highly differentiated follicular carcinoma arising in struma ovarii. ConclusionsPrediction of biologic behavior of struma ovarii is still to be to diagnostic challenge, therefore multidisciplinary approach including clinical a n d laboratory findings, radiologic details and histopathological features is required. Providing additional data, the present case report contributes to expending the knowledge of these peculiar neoplasms.

Apocrine carcinoma is a very rare form of breast malignancy with an incidence of <1% of female invasive breast carcinoma. We report a case of apocrine carcinoma in a 42-year female with marked adenosis showing apocrine metaplasia and discuss the criteria to diagnose apocrine carcinoma with the emerging concept of androgen receptor positivity with its implication on treatment and management of the patient.
