Although the presence of an adnexal mass in the absence of an intrauterine gestational sac with positive β-hCG level above the threshold level, may indicate an ectopic pregnancy; differential diagnosis of mature cystic teratoma simultaneously occurring with spontaneous abortion should be kept in mind.

Abstract

A case of mature cystic teratoma mimicking ectopic pregnancy in a patient with positive serum β-hCG and adnexal mass is presented. A 25 year-old woman referred to emergency clinic with pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding with passage of blood clots. β-hCG level was 1618 IU/L. Ultrasonography revealed a heterogeneous adnexal mass 63x42 mm in size and absence of intrauterine gestational sac. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy was suspected. At laparoscopy, mature cystic teratoma was discovered. The patient was treated with cyst removal. Certain diagnosis was proved to be mature cystic teratoma simultaneously occurring with spontaneous abortion, mimicking ectopic pregnancy. Although the presence of an adnexal mass in the absence of an intrauterine gestational sac with positive β-hCG level above the threshold level, may indicate an ectopic pregnancy; differential diagnosis of mature cystic teratoma simultaneously occurring with spontaneous abortion should be kept in mind.

Özet

Bu makalede, klinik, radyolojik ve biyokimyasal olarak ektopik gebeliği taklit eden matür kistik teratom olgusu sunulmuştur. Pelvik ağrı ve pıhtılı vajinal kanama şikayetleriyle acile başvuran 25 yaşında, β-hCG’si 1618 IU/L olan hastanın ultrasonografisinde 63x42 mm boyutlarında pelvik kitle tespit edildi ve intrauterin gestasyonel kese gözlenmedi. Bu bulgular ışığında ektopik gebelik ön tanısıyla hastaya laparoskopi uygulandı. Laparoskopi sırasında maxilla ve mandibula kemiklerinin gelişim gösterdiği matür kistik teratom izlendi. Spontan abort ile eş zamanlı tespit edilen matür kistik teratom tanısı patolojik da olarak kesinleştirildi. İntrauterin gestasyonel kese yokluğunda, pozitif serum β-hCG ile birliktelik gösteren adneksiyel kitle olgularında ilk akla gelen tanı ektopik gebelik olsa da, ayırıcı tanıda spontan abortus ile eş zamanlı olabilecek matür kistik teratom akılda tutulmalıdır.
