“…Owing to the limited number of cases in literature, there is no direct hypothesis to explain this unusual coexistence. Our case and immunohistochemistry findings support the "epithelial metaplasia" hypothesis, similar to the previous case reports [5][6][7].…”

“…Struma ovarii has been found to coexist with other ovarian malignancies, most common being mucinous cystadenoma, followed by Brenner tumour, thecoma, ovarian fibroma, and focal hilus cell hyperplasia. A coexistence of struma ovarii with serous cystadenoma has only been reported in six cases so far [4][5][6][7]. Occurrence of these two in a setting of tubercular oophoritis is even rarer and to the best of our knowledge, ours is the first case with such a combination.…”

“…Approximately 5-15 % of mature cystic teratomas show variable proportion of thyroid tissue; however, proportion of thyroid should be more than 50 % to classify it as struma ovarii [1][2][3]. Struma ovarii has been reported to coexist with non-germinal epithelial tumors such as mucinous cystadenoma, Brenner's tumor, and rarely serous cystadenofibroma [4,6]. However, its association with serous cystadenoma is extremely unusual with only 6 cases reported so far.…”

Struma ovarii is a rare ovarian tumour accounting for less than 5% of all ovarian neoplasms. It may occur with nongerminal epithelial ovarian neoplasms, but the coexistence of struma ovarii with serous cystadenoma is extremely uncommon with only 6 cases reported so far. Occurrence of these two in a setting of tubercular oophoritis is even rarer, and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first such case. We present a case of a 63-year-old multiparous postmenopausal woman who presented with an ovarian mass. Clinicoradiologically possibility of a neoplastic ovarian cyst was considered. Histopathological examination revealed coexisting triple pathologies; of which struma ovarii in a setting of tuberculosis was an incidental finding. This case is important, not only being rare, but it also highlights the importance of careful and extensive histopathological examination even in a seemingly simple cystic lesion of the ovary to avoid missing concomitant focal pathologies.

“…In that study, we detected 14 cases of SO out of 172 women with dermoid cysts [5]. Moreover, according to the current literature, a small number of case reports and case series confirm the coexistence of SO with other ovarian masses, such as mucinous or serous cystadenoma, Brenner tumor, thecoma, and ovarian fibroma [46][47][48][49][50]. In our total sample of 3490 women, we detected 12 cases of SO.…”

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the co-existence of ovarian teratomas with other benign or malignant gynecological tumors in women who underwent gynecological surgery.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all women who underwent gynecological surgery over a 15-year period. Pre-operative, surgical, and histological records were obtained from women who presented with gynecological pathology, aiming to discover a possible link between ovarian teratomas and other gynecological tumors.Results: Of the total patient sample, 288 (8.2%) had a mature teratoma, and 9 (0.3%) had an immature teratoma. The mean age was 38.0±13.3 years and 30.9±11.1 years, respectively. Women with mature teratoma showed a positive correlation with struma ovarii (SO, p=0.001). Moreover, we reported a positive linear relationship between struma ovarri and thecoma. Of the 288 women with a mature teratoma, 1 (0.3%) had co-existent endometrioid ovarian cancer, and 1 (0.3%) had borderline cancer. There were 14 women (4.9%) with a co-existent serous cystadenoma, 7 (2.4%) with a mucin cystadenoma, 1 (0.3%) with a thecoma, 4 (1.4%) with struma ovarii, 3 (1.0%) had Brenner cyst, 3 (1.0%) had ovarian fibroma, 2 had endometriosis (0.7%), and 8 (2.8%) had endometriomas. Of a total of nine women with immature teratomas, one (11.1%) had a serous cystadenoma.Conclusions: Ovarian teratomas may co-exist with other gynecological diseases. Our study reports various cases of the co-existence of several gynecological tumors with teratomas.

Concomitant benign serous cystadenoma with struma ovarii - An unusual combination of tumours from different origin, a case report and review of literature

Struma ovarii is a rare ovarian tumour of germ cell origin which accounts for less than 5% of all ovarian neoplasms. It can occur alone or in association with other non-germ cell epithelial ovarian neoplasms. The coexistence of struma ovarii with serous cystadenoma is extremely uncommon with only 6 cases reported so far until 2017. Herein, we report an extremely rare case of a 39-year-old woman who presented with an ovarian mass. Clinicoradiologically possibility of a right ovarian cyst with torsion was made. Histopathological examination revealed an unusual dual pathology – benign serous cystadenoma and struma ovarii. This case is reported to highlight the importance of extensive sampling and careful histopathological examination even in a grossly benign looking cystic lesion of the ovary. This case is presented due to its extreme rarity which can cause diagnostic dilemmas and to provide insight into rare entities and its prognostic significance.
