“…Postoperative monitoring of MSO is even more important in order to rule out the possibility of metastasis [16]. Therefore, it is important to evaluate serum thyroglobulin in a long-term follow-up in cases of thyroid cancer [3,7,10].…”

Background Malignant struma ovarii is a very rare type of gynecologic cancer. Although its most common histological subtype is a pure type of papillary thyroid carcinoma containing two components, papillary carcinoma and poorly differentiated carcinoma, malignant struma ovarii is still extremely rare. As a result, the optimal treatment for this type of tumor remains uncertain due to its rarity. Case presentation A 62-year-old Japanese female presented with a pelvic tumor and clinical diagnosis of malignant tumor of the ovary. She underwent complete debulking surgery, total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and omentectomy. The histology of the ovarian tumor revealed malignant struma ovarii with thyroid-type papillary projections and poorly differentiated carcinoma. Because of the complete resection and the absence of distant metastasis, the patient did not receive any adjuvant therapy. At 24 months after surgery, she was free of disease. Conclusion This is a rare case report of malignant struma ovarii, without recurrence, in which the component was papillary thyroid carcinoma mixed with poorly differentiated carcinoma. Foregoing adjuvant therapy might be one option for malignant struma ovarii in cases with complete resection and no distant metastasis. In addition, we should consider that long-term follow-up is needed for malignant struma ovarii.

“…The most common site of metastasis was the peritoneum, followed by the liver, lungs, and bones [3,17]. There is a report that recommended regular followup by contrast-enhanced CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis twice or three times a year [16].…”

Immigrant and refugee populations face multiple barriers to accessing mental health services. This scoping review applies the (Levesque et al. in Int J Equity Health 12:18, 2013) Patient-Centred Access to Healthcare model in exploring the potential of increased access through virtual mental healthcare services VMHS for these populations by examining the affordability, availability/accommodation, and appropriateness and acceptability of virtual mental health interventions and assessments. A search in CINAHL, MEDLINE, PSYCINFO, EMBASE, SOCINDEX and SCOPUS following (Arksey and O’Malley in Int J Soc Res Methodol 8:19–32, 2005) guidelines found 44 papers and 41 unique interventions/assessment tools. Accessibility depended on individual (e.g., literacy), program (e.g., computer required) and contextual/social factors (e.g., housing characteristics, internet bandwidth). Participation often required financial and technical support, raising important questions about the generalizability and sustainability of VMHS’ accessibility for immigrant and refugee populations. Given limitations in current research (i.e., frequent exclusion of patients with severe mental health issues; limited examination of cultural dimensions; de facto exclusion of those without access to technology), further research appears warranted.
