Struma Ovarii is a highly specialized monodermal teratoma in which the major component is thyroid tissue. Its relationship with Pseudo Meigs syndrome, hyperthyroidism and elevation of Ca 125 is a rare condition; this could mimic malignancy. Ultrasound and axial tomography may be useful in diagnosis; but histopathological criteria play a very important role in the definitive diagnosis. Our objective is to present a case report of Struma ovarii, ascites, pleural effusion (pseudo meigs syndrome), elevation of Ca 125, hyperthyroidism, and review the published literature in relation to epidemiology and diagnostic characteristics.
INTRODUCTIONCervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide.1 It is the second leading cause of mortality due to malignant neoplasia in women, producing up to 11 deaths per day affecting the age group of 25-69 years and only is outweighed by breast cancer. 2In Mexico, human papillomavirus infection is the cause of a large percentage of cervical cancer; is one of the main public health problems, with an incidence of 15.5% and a mortality of 12.8%.3 It has been identified that there are differences in the prevalence of type of HPV. 4 ABSTRACTBackground: Cervical-uterine cancer (CaCu) is the second leading cause of death in women worldwide and the first in developing countries. It has been correlated to human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype with cancerous lesions reported in histopathological studies, which tells us about the prognosis of the patients. Objective of present study was to correlate the genotype of HPV to the histopathological result evaluated in these patients at the Naval Hospital of High Specialty. Methods: A total of 316 women attended at the Naval General High Marine Hospital from 2015 to 2016 with HPV diagnosis were included, the histopathological report was correlated with the HPV genotype determined by the chain reaction of the polymerase (PCR). Statistical tests were applied for Smirnov and Kolmogorov, Chi square, OR, Anova-Kruskal Wallis. Data were processed using the SPSS software version 19 and a P <0.05 was taken as statistical significance. Results: The mean age was 36.0±10.2. The detection of cervical cancer was reported in 3.8% and stage CIN III 2.5%; the highest proportion of patients were in the CIN I stage (51.3%), while the CIN II was 9.2%, and up to 30.7% were classified as HPV infection; only 2.5% were normal. The types of HPV prevalent by PCR were those at high risk different from 16 and 18 with a rate of 34.8%, then 16 at 5.1% and 18 at 0.3%. More than half of the cases (54.4%) were negative for the serotypes analyzed. In general terms, CaCu and CIN III were observed in 15% of the type 16, 0% in type 18, 25% in other high risk and 60% in negative PCR. Conclusions: In this study, we obtained essential data that tells us that this population could be treated with low-risk HPV types associated with CaCu.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
