“…The thyroid tissue in strumaovarii can be affected by a variety of pathologies which would otherwise influence the native thyroid gland. Malignant transformation of strumaovariioccurs rarely [1] and thyroid-type papillary carcinoma arising from thyroid tissue in mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is extremely rare. [1,2] The criteria for the histopathologic diagnosis of malignant carcinoma are usually adopted for the diagnosis of thyroidtype carcinoma arising in strumaovarii.…”

“…Malignant transformation of strumaovariioccurs rarely [1] and thyroid-type papillary carcinoma arising from thyroid tissue in mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is extremely rare. [1,2] The criteria for the histopathologic diagnosis of malignant carcinoma are usually adopted for the diagnosis of thyroidtype carcinoma arising in strumaovarii. [3,4] Strict criteria are required for the diagnosis of thyroid-type carcinoma because proliferative changes, including areas of densely packed follicles or pseudopapillary formations in strumaovarii may be confused with malignancy.…”

Although mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is benign, malignant transformation (MT) occurs in ∼ 1% to 2% of all cases, and usually consists of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which accounts for ∼ 80% of the cases. Spindle-cell (sarcomatoid) carcinoma (SCSC) is an uncommon type of SCC, comprising up to 3% of all cases. The lack of characteristic symptoms and specific imaging findings may lead to preoperative misdiagnosis. Moreover, the clinicopathologic characteristics, the treatment, the prognostic factors and the mechanism of MT have not yet been well understood due to the rarity of such tumors, especially in women of reproductive age. The authors present a case of a 34-year-old patient with 14 weeks of gestation who was diagnosed with an adnexal mass suggestive of ovarian teratoma. A laparoscopy salpingo-oophorectomy was performed after 6 months of delivery, and the histological exam revealed a sarcomatoid SCC in the MCT.

The optimal treatment for malignant transformation of mature cystic teratoma is uncertain due to the rarity of the disease ( 5 ).…”

“…The most common malignant tumor in mature cystic teratomas is squamous cell carcinoma, whereas papillary thyroid carcinoma arising from mature cystic teratoma is extremely rare ( 6 ), with only 11 such cases documented in the English literature to date ( 5 , 7 – 16 ). In the majority of the cases, malignant transformation is diagnosed on postoperative pathological examination.…”

Live birth following laparoscopic fertility‑sparing surgery for papillary thyroid carcinoma arising from mature ovarian cystic teratoma: A case report

et al. 2018

Papillary thyroid carcinoma arising from ovarian mature cystic teratoma is clinically rare. We herein present a case of live birth following two laparoscopic surgeries for papillary thyroid carcinoma arising in a mature ovarian cystic teratoma. A 30-year-old female patient, gravida 1 para 1, was treated by laparoscopic bilateral ovarian cystectomy for suspicion of bilateral mature cystic teratoma. The diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma arising from right ovarian mature cystic teratoma was established based on postoperative pathological examination of the tumor. Such rare neoplasms may be difficult to diagnose preoperatively based on radiological examinations alone. The patient underwent laparoscopic fertility-preserving unilateral (right) salpingo-oophorectomy. Following an extensive discussion with the patient and her family, appropriate informed consent was obtained for the treatment option and the patient and her family chose to preserve her fertility. She could have a baby following the treatment and no evidence of disease for 6 years. Gynecologists should be aware of the possibility of such rare cases, and the available surgical interventions should be fully discussed with patients who wish to preserve their fertility. Laparoscopic fertility-sparing surgery may be a feasible option when encountering such a rare condition.
