Abstract

OBJECTIVE: In this study, the analysis of clinical, epidemiological and biological features of 6 patients who had the diagnosis of struma ovarii postoperatively was presented. STUDY DESIGN: This study consists of 6 patients who admitted to Selcuk University, Faculty of Meram Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology with several complaints and who were operated for pelvic mass and diagnosed as struma ovarii postoperatively. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 52.5±8.38 years (41-63). 4 patients (66.7%) admitted with pelvic and abdominal pain. All patients had unilateral form of struma ovarii. Thyroid function tests and CA 125 levels were detected to be normal in examined patients. 2 patients did not have preoperative thyroid function tests. None of these patients had symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. Regarding surgical procedures, 1 patients (16.7%) had ovarian cystectomy, and 5 patients (83.3%) had total abdominal hysterectomy together with bilateral salphingooferectomy. CONCLUSION: Struma ovarii is a medical rarity and preoperative diagnosis is generally impossible. The diagnosis was confirmed only by pathologic findings. Clinicians should be aware of this diagnosis and include it in the differential diagnosis when a patient presents with signs and symptoms of ovarian malignancy.

Özet

AMAÇ: Bu çalışmada, postoperatif dönemde struma ovarii teşhisi alan 6 hastanın biyolojik, epidemiyolojik ve klinik analizi sunulmuştur. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu çalışmaya Selçuk Üniversitesi Meram Tıp Fakültesi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Kliniği’ne çeşitli şikayetlerle başvuran ve pelvik kitle nedeniyle opere olup, postoperatif struma ovarii tanısı konulan 6 hasta dahil edildi. BULGULAR: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 52,5±8,38 years (41- 63) idi. Hastaların 4’ü (%66,7) karın ve kasık ağrısı şikayeti ile bize başvurdu. Tüm hastalarda tek taraflı struma ovarii tespit edildi. Tiroid fonksiyon testleri ve CA-125 seviyeleri bakılan hastalarda normal olarak bulundu. 2 hastada preoperatif dönemde tiroid fonksiyon testi çalışılmamıştı. Hastaların hiçbirinde tirotoksikoz bulgularına rastlanmadı. 1 hastaya (%16,7) ovaryen kistektomi ve 5 hastaya (%83,3) abdominal histerektomi ve bilateral salpingooferektomi uygulandı. SONUÇ: Struma ovarii nadir görülen bir klinik durumdur ve preoperatif teşhis genellikle imkânsızdır. Teşhis ancak patolojik bulgularla doğrulanır. Klinisyenler over malignensilerinin ayırıcı tanısında struma ovarii teşhisini akılda tutmalıdırlar.
