We report a case of struma ovarii with hyperthyroidism and elevated serum concentrations of type IV collagen and laminin. Circulating levels of type IV collagen and laminin were measured using specific radioimmunoassays (RIAs) for 7S collagen and the P-1 fragment of laminin, and the basement membrane components in the tumor were investigated by immunohistochemical analysis. Strong immunohistoch...

Lymphocytic (auto-immune, Hashimoto's) thyroiditis was formerly considered to be a rare condition in childhood, but recent reports indicate that it is by no means uncommon in this period of life and that it is being recognized with apparent increasing frequency (Macksood, Rapport, and Hodges, 1961).

A postmenopausal female presented with an enlarging multinodular goiter. Microcalcifications within the largest thyroid nodule found by ultrasound prompted her to elect a total thyroidectomy. Histopathologic evaluation led to the diagnosis of confined papillary thyroid carcinoma (follicular variant). Elevated serum thyroglobulin levels were noted on postoperative laboratory workup, with the dif...

primary ovarian carcinoid tumors of the ovary are rare and represent less than 0.1% of ovarian malignancy. one of its subtypes is the strumal carcinoid in which the thyroid tissue is seen in intimate association with carcinoid tumor. we here report a 47-year-old woman with strumal carcinoid of the right ovary presented with cessation of menstrual periods in the past 3 months and was referred du...
