Struma Ovarii associated with Pseudo-Meig's syndrome and high serum level of CA 125; a case report
Published: 21 March 2012
Abstract (provisional)
Struma ovarii is a rare form of ovarian neoplasm in a form of mature teratoma and
is composed predominantly of thyroid tissue. In the literature review, there has only
been 10 cases of this tumor, associated with ascites and pleural effusion (Meig's
Syndrome) and increased CA125 so far. In such cases, the tumor mimics malignant ovarian
tumor. In this article, the case of a 72-year-old symptomatic woman with a pelvic
mass, pleural and peritoneal effusion and high level of serum CA125 (607.4) is presented.
Cytological evaluation for the pleural fluid was performed. She underwent hysterectomy
and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The result of pathologic diagnosis is presented
in this paper. The patient was well in postoperative period and paraclinical tests
including CA 125 were normal as well.
