Summary
This report details a rare, bilateral strumal carcinoid tumor found in a 79-year-old woman's ovaries. This ovarian tumor finding is unusual as most literature describes unilateral cases.
Area of Science:
- Gynecologic Oncology
- Endocrinology
- Pathology
Background:
- Strumal carcinoid tumors are rare ovarian neoplasms.
- They represent a mixed tumor type with both carcinoid and thyroid elements.
- Typically, these tumors are unilateral.
Observation:
- A case of bilateral strumal carcinoid tumor in the right and left ovary is presented.
- The patient was a 79-year-old euthyroid woman.
- The tumor was discovered incidentally during necropsy.
Findings:
- The presented case is rare due to its bilateral nature.
- No evidence of carcinoid syndrome was observed in the patient.
- Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of strumal carcinoid tumor.
Implications:
- This case expands the understanding of strumal carcinoid tumor presentation.
- Highlights the importance of thorough examination in ovarian pathology.
- Suggests bilateral occurrence, though rare, should be considered in differential diagnosis.
