Objectives. The study was conducted to characterize the use of the laparoscopic surgery in elderly patients. Methods. The medical records of elderly patients aged ≥65 years who underwent laparoscopic surgery were retrospectively reviewed for diseases, surgical procedures, histological diagnosis, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and reasons for presentation. Results. Of the 405 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery between January 2005 and March 2012, 41 (10.1%) were aged ≥65 years. The most common disease treated by surgery was ovarian tumor, followed by uterine prolapse. Histological diagnosis of ovarian tumor specimens obtained from 23 patients included serous cystadenoma (44.0%), mature cystic teratoma (20.0%), mucinous cystadenoma (20.0%), and endometrioma (4%). In contrast, in the non-elderly group, the most common histological diagnosis was endometrioma (42.9%), followed in order by mature cystic teratoma (28.3%), serous cystadenoma (18.0%), and mucinous cystadenoma (4.7%). While 23.7% of the non-elderly patients required emergency laparoscopic surgery, none of the elderly patients required emergency surgery. Only 1 of 27 patients who underwent surgery for an ovarian or adnexal mass presented with abdominal pain. No one developed serious intraoperative or postoperative complications. Conclusion. Laparoscopic surgery can be safely performed in elderly patients. It should be noted, however, that few elderly patients with benign pelvic mass manifest symptoms before undergoing surgery.

Primary ovarian carcinoid tumors are extremely rare. Ovarian strumal carcinoid is usually derived from mature cystic teratoma, an ovarian germ cell tumor composed of two distinctive components characteristic thyroid tissue intermixed with a carcinoid tumor. The incidence of stromal carcinoid tumor is accounting for 0.3-1% of all ovarian tumors and 3% of all mature teratomas. Herein, we report a 25-year-old female presented with severe abdominal pain. She had right struma ovarii after Laparoscopic-Assisted Ovarian Cystectomy (LAOC) procedure one year ago. The sonography of abdomen images study demonstrated a well capsulated cystic mass measured up to 11 cm in dimension. The mature cystic teratoma was the first diagnostic possibility. She underwent the laparoscopy-assisted left ovarian cystectomy. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed strumal Carcinoid Tumor of the Ovary (SCTO) arising from strum ovarii in the left ovary. She was recovered well and was still asymptomatic after two years follow-up. In conclusion, we first describe the primary SCTO arising from a heterochronous struma ovarii. The symptoms of SCTO are usually non-specific and misleading. Therefore, it is important to fully understand the characteristics, diagnosis and management of SCTO. Diagnosis should be confirmed by pathology and immunohistochemistry, and clinically metastatic carcinoid should be excluded.
