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.

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.

AbstractRectus sheath hematoma is an uncommon and often clinically misdiagnosed cause of abdominal pain. We report such a case of a 42-year-old woman who developed an abdominal-wall hematoma at 32 weeks of gestation. Initially, she was suspected as having a complicated ovarian tumor associated with pregnancy, because of the intense abdominal pain. Both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging proved to be useful in diagnosing rectus sheath hematoma. A conservative management was applied for the rectus sheath hematoma and the patient recovered uneventfully. Although it is a very rare entity, rectus sheath hematoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of every pregnant patient who presents with abdominal pain.

Ovarian tumors in pregnancy represent a significant issue both in terms of diagnostics and therapy. Increased use of the ultrasound in pregnancy in the last several decades has contributed to the rise in the number of diagnosed asymptomatic adnexal tumors with pregnant women. We present a case of a patient treated in our clinic for asymptomatic ovarian tumor, which was diagnosed in pregnancy. The patient underwent check-ups every four weeks, comprising clinical and sonographical examinations and relevant laboratory and tumor marker tests. The course of pregnancy was normal, with no detected tumor growth and with the tumor marker levels within the reference range. Following an uneventful delivery, she developed abdominal pains during the puerperium, and the adnexal torsion was diagnosed intraoperatively. The attitudes to treating of adnexal tumors in pregnancy are controversial, and there exist no defined treatment protocols. It is, therefore, necessary to make an individual evaluation of each case, and the relevant decisions should be made with the pregnant woman?s informed consent. The adnexal torsion in the presented case can be explained by the size of the tumor as well as the progressive reduction of the size of the uterus due to the physical involution during puerperium.
