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 mas...

INTRODUCTION Splenic tumors are rare and present a diagnostic dilemma. Metastatic carcinoma to the spleen is unusual. Visceral metastases in patients with ovarian cancer represent hematogenous spread of the disease; capsular involvement resulting from serosal and peritoneal seeding is more common. We present a patient with intraparenchymal splenic metastasis from ovarian carcinoma. This case de...

Adnexal masses in pregnancy are a diagnostic and management challenge that is increasingly being faced by obstetricians. The incidence of ovarian masses occurring during pregnancy is about 1 in 400-in 1,312 live births. Adnexal masses requiring surgical intervention in pregnancy have been reported to be around 1% to 2.3% of all gestations [1,2]. Only 0.04-0.05% of pregnant women are found to ha...

Cysts can occur in all body tissues, but cysts organs other than the ovaries present symptoms more rapidly due to resulting dysfunction. Ovarian often do not cause complaints because they are contact with and typically detected during routine checks. Although of various sizes encountered, giant ovarian extremely rare. This report presents case a 36-year-old female patient admitted our clinic in...

Ovarian cancer is rare in childhood. This explains why there are only scattered reports on it in the literature and why there is a lack of specific pediatric treatment. This paper gives an overview of the Belgian data from 2004 to 2013 and reviews the literature. To index ovarian masses and malignancies in children better in the future, worldwide data collection should be improved and reproduci...

Only 150 cases of struma ovarii (i.e., goiter of the ovary) have been reported in the medical literature. The condition is characterized by the presence of thyroid tissue in an ovarian tumor, typically as a part of a teratoma. We report the first case of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis concurrent with struma ovarii, a thyroid gland with Hürthle cells, and positive antithyroid antibodies despite referen...

We report a case of port-site metastasis after laparoscopic surgery for borderline mucinous ovarian tumors (mBOTs) without spillage and review the related literature. The patient was a 50-year-old nulligravida who presented with abdominal distension. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 20 × 10-cm multilocular mass with various signal intensities. The wall and septa of the mass were neither thic...

UNLABELLED Ganglioneuroma are rare, benign neural tumor of sympathetic nervous system originating from neural crest sympathogonia. Pelvic ganglioneuromas may mimic ovarian masses. We present a patient operated with the diagnosis of ovarian tumor which had a pelvic gangliuoneuroma. CASE An eleven-year old female patient complaining of abdominal pain and a mass was seen at our hospital. On exam...

Ovarian torsion during pregnancy is a rare event and occurs mostly the first trimester. This case describing diagnosis management of an ovarian at 33 weeks in twin with normal term delivery. The patient presented irregular uterine contraction due to acute abdominal pain right iliac fossa. A cyst was discovered ultrasound scan on ovary highly suspected. small laparotomy facing mass after guidanc...

CONTEXT Malignant mixed Mullerian tumors are rare ovarian neoplasms that account for less than 2% of ovarian malignancies. They have a generally poor prognosis and often develop recurrent disease. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a malignant mixed Mullerian tumor with metastasis to the pancreas. The metastatic tumor was identified by endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspirat...
