Multisystem manifestations of benign ovarian teratomas.

چکیده
A 26-year-old woman presented with acute onset of right-sided pelvic pain and had a medical history significant for migraine headaches and polycystic ovarian disease. Ultrasonography demonstrated bilateral ovarian tumors, and the patient underwent laparoscopic removal of bilateral cystic teratomas. A literature review focused on similar presentations of teratomas revealed isolated cases of migraines and polycystic ovarian disease associated with teratomas and an increased risk for ovarian torsion. Our patient experienced complete resolution of her acute abdominal pain, as well as her long-standing headaches and hormonal symptoms, after removal of the teratomas.

Hashimoto's disease in a bilateral benign cystic ovarian teratoma: a case report.
A wide array of tissues derived from all the three germinal layers is seen in ovarian teratomas. Among these, thyroid tissue is present in 10% cases of all mature cystic teratomas. We report this case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis in a clinically euthyroid patient who tested positive for antithyroid peroxidase antibodies in spite of normal thyroid hormone profile. While the histological features o...
متن کاملLarge, complex, benign cystic teratoma in an adolescent.
Germ cell tumors make up 15% to 20% of all ovarian tumors, 95% of which are dermoid cysts, also known as benign cystic teratomas. Primarily ectodermally derived, tissues can grow from any of the germ cell layers. Tumors occur bilaterally in 10% of cases, and there appears to be an increased rate of sterility in patients with cystic teratomas. These tumors are found in women of reproductive age,...
متن کاملCellular Biology of Teratoma
Teratomas are bizarre tumours which contain multiple tissues of kinds foreign to the part of the body in which they arise. Within teratomas these tissues can be organised into recognisable organs, limbs and, in some instances, structures which resemble a complete fetus (1,2,3). These 'monstrous' features give these tumours their name (teras=monster, in Greek). A common example of this bizarre d...
متن کاملWell-differentiated cerebellum within a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary.
Mature cystic teratoma is the most common benign neoplasm of the ovary, accounting for 27-44% of all ovarian tumors and up to 58% of benign ovarian tumors [1], and is composed of mature-appearing derivatives of two or three embryonal layers [2]. Ectodermal derivatives are observed in almost all mature teratomas [2]. Organized mature neural tissue is a common component. Glial tissue is the most ...
