Special Clinical Characteristics of Struma Ovarii- Two Unique Cases Report
Introduction: Struma ovarii is a rare type of ovarian cystic
teratoma with composed of predominantly thyroid tissue. It occurs
between 30-50 years of age, usually in unilateral ovary. Struma ovarii
rarely occurs before puberty and is growing slowly. Hereby we
reported 2 cases in which one case with combined cystic teratoma in one
side and Struma ovarii in contralateral side of ovary, the
second case with Struma ovarii occurs at age of 16 then growing
tremendously with in only 8 years.
Methods: A retrospective study of the data bases of community hospitals in Taipei city during 2014 -2016 were included. Two cases with a histological diagnosis of Struma ovarii who had undergone surgery were identified.
Patients
Case 1: A 29-year-old female patient presented with recently irregular vaginal bleeding, abdominal distention and low abdominal palpable mass. Her past history revealed right ovarian cystic teratoma underwent laparoscopic removal of tumor at age of 16. CT scan revealed the contralateral ovarian calcified tumor (10cm x 7.5cm) with heterogenous mass with solid and cystic components. Post-operative finding was left ovarian cyst with smooth surface and gelatinous material content.
Case 2: A 24-year-old single patient presented with amenorrhea and abdominal distention. She had history of right ovarian simple cyst (4.2cm x 3.2cm) at age of 16. She came after 8 years; the physical examination found the ovarian tumor growing to a tremendous size. CT scan showed a homogenous cystic tumor 25.8cm x 25.7cm x 16cm with a few heterogenous enhanced nodules.
