Diagnostic Value of Nuclear Hybrid Imaging in Malignant Struma Ovarii: A Systematic Review of Case Reports.

Background: Struma ovarii is a rare tumor, a type of ovarian mature teratoma consisting over 50% of its mass in thyroid ectopic tissue; 5% to 10% of cases, as described in the literature, are malignant and well known as malignant struma ovarii or thyroid cancer from struma ovarii. Due to the limited number of malignant struma ovarii cases, the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of malignant struma ovarii lacks in standardization.
Methods: We performed a comprehensive search on the English language PubMed and Google Scholar.
A Review of Autoimmune Thyroid Diseases and Their Complex Interplay with Female Fertility.

Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves' disease are autoimmune thyroid disorders that are common in women of reproductive age and have a complex relationship with female fertility and health of the maternal-fetal dyad. Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, whether subclinical or overt in severity, directly or indirectly affect nearly every level of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovary axis, uterine and ovarian function, as well as fetal development from implantation through delivery. Autoimmunity itself also appears to negatively impact both spontaneous and assisted fertility, as well as miscarriage risk, although the mechanism remains unclear, and the presence and magnitude of risk is variable in published literature.

A germline alteration in the PTEN gene causes a spectrum of disorders conceptualized as PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS), which show high risk of tumor development and a highly variable and complex phenotype. The diagnosis of PHTS is established in a proband by identification of a heterozygous germline PTEN pathogenic variant on molecular genetic testing. In this study, to understand more PTEN-associated clinical phenotype and PHTS in a Japanese population, we extracted 128 germline PTEN rare variants from 113,535 adult Japanese registered in Biobank Japan (BBJ), and categorized 29 pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in 30 individuals (0.

Struma ovarii (SO) is a rare subtype of ovarian teratoma composed of more than 50% thyroid tissue. Extraovarian spread of SO, called peritoneal strumosis, was previously considered benign given the lack of histological malignant features. However, the 2020 World Health Organization Classification of Female Genital Tumors reclassified peritoneal strumosis as highly differentiated follicular carcinoma of ovarian origin (HDFCO), highlighting its low-grade malignant potential.

Article Synopsis
- - Malignant struma ovarii (MSO) is a rare type of ovarian goiter that meets criteria for malignant thyroid tumors and can show invasive spread, with serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels helping to differentiate it from other ovarian cancers.
- - A case study is presented involving a 54-year-old woman with abdominal pain, diagnosed post-surgery with highly differentiated follicular thyroid carcinoma originating from both ovaries, which had spread to other areas.
- - After undergoing total thyroidectomy and iodine-131 treatment, her follow-up after one year showed no significant abnormalities, highlighting the need for further discussion on clinical management and monitoring of Tg levels in MSO cases.
