Struma Ovarii associated with pseudo meigs syndrome and elevated serum ca 125
Gynecologic Oncology, 2002Co-Authors: F J Montz, Robert E BristowAbstract:Abstract Background. Struma Ovarii, presenting as pseudo-Meigs' syndrome with an elevated CA 125 level, is a rare condition. Case. A 65-year-old patient presented with ascites, hydrothorax, right ovarian mass, and elevated CA 125 level. These findings were suspicious for an ovarian malignancy. The mass was removed and revealed Struma Ovarii, a specialized ovarian teratoma composed predominantly of mature thyroid tissue. In the setting of ascites and hydrothorax, the condition is known as pseudo-Meigs' syndrome. This is the second reported case in the English language literature of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome with an elevated CA 125 level resulting from Struma Ovarii. Conclusion. Struma Ovarii is a rare cause of ascites, hydrothorax, and an elevated CA 125 level.

Struma Ovarii: role of imaging?
Insights into Imaging, 2014Co-Authors: Martine I. Dujardin, Priti Sekhri, Lindsay W. TurnbullAbstract:As clinical features in Struma Ovarii patients in the absence of thyrotoxicosis are generally non-specific and resemble ovarian malignancy, preoperative radiological diagnosis becomes all the more relevant in order to avoid ovarian cancer type surgery (including bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, hysterectomy, omentectomy and occasionally appendectomy) for this usually benign and rare ovarian mass. As Struma Ovarii is an uncommon entity, it is all the more important to perform state-of-the-art magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, including high-resolution imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging. The goal of this review paper is to give an update of the key findings of both benign and malignant Struma Ovarii and to present an unusual case of a purely cystic ovarian Struma. Key Points • Clinical features in Struma Ovarii are generally non - specific and resemble ovarian malignancy . • Pre - operative radiological diagnosis is important to avoid ovarian cancer type surgery ( bilateral salpingo - oophorectomy , hysterectomy , omentectomy and occasionally appendectomy ). • State - of - the - art MR imaging might help to characterise this unusual ovarian mass . • Struma Ovarii can occasionally present as a purely cystic lesion . • However, the role of imaging to identify Struma Ovarii preoperatively remains limited .

Struma Ovarii and peritoneal strumosis with thyrotoxicosis
Thyroid, 2009Co-Authors: Jinwan Park, Philsang Chung, Seokgun Park, Choonghak ParkAbstract:Background: Struma Ovarii is a highly specialized form of mature ovarian teratoma consisting of thyroid tissue and exhibiting all the histological features of the thyroid gland. Malignant transformation of thyroid tissue in Struma Ovarii and metastasis are extremely uncommon. In rare cases, benign thyroid tissue may spread to the peritoneal cavity, and pathologic examination of the peritoneal implants shows multiple nodules of varying sizes of mature thyroid tissue similar to Struma Ovarii. This condition is termed “peritoneal strumosis.” Summary: We report a 49-year-old woman with Struma Ovarii complicated by peritoneal strumosis with thyrotoxicosis. After surgical resection of the Struma Ovarii and peritoneal strumosis the patient became euthyroid. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of a patient with peritoneal strumosis complicated by thyrotoxicosis. The relative contribution to circulating thyroid hormones by the patient's Struma Ovarii as compared to the peritoneal stru...

pseudo meigs syndrome associated with malignant Struma Ovarii a case report
Gynecologic Oncology, 2004Co-Authors: Gian Franco Zannoni, Valerio Gallotta, Francesco Legge, Elisabetta Tarquini, Giovanni Scambia, Gabriella FerrandinaAbstract:Abstract Background . Malignant Struma Ovarii is a rare tumor, consisting of a Struma Ovarii with malignant transformation. The association of a malignant Struma Ovarii with pseudo-Meigs' syndrome and elevated Ca-125 levels has been never reported. Case . A 66-year-old woman presented with monolateral ovarian mass, ascites, hydrothorax, and elevated Ca-125 levels. Optimal medical staging was performed. Definitive histological examination revealed a malignant Struma Ovarii. The immediate and complete resolution of symptoms and rapid decline of both Ca-125 and thyroglobulin levels to normal value were achieved post-operatively. After counseling, strict follow-up was planned, and no adjuvant therapy was administered. Conclusion . We report the first case of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome associated with malignant Struma Ovarii and elevated Ca-125 levels. The choice of not performing adjuvant therapy is feasible after optimal surgery and adequate staging procedure given to the usually clinical benign course and the low incidence of metastases in malignant Struma Ovarii. Careful patient counseling is required.
