Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of ovarian malignant tumor with thyroid components. Methods The clinical and pathological data of ovarian malignant tumor withthyroid component were collected from May 2006 to March 2018, including four cases of stroumal carcinoid and one case of metastatic thyroid follicular carcinoma, and the related literature was also reviewed. Results Ages of 5 cases ranged from 25 to 65 years old, and pelvic mass or abdominal discomfort was presented in physical examination. Tumors were unilateral, and mainly on the left side. The diameter of tumors was 5 to 13 cm with cyst or solid mainly. The strumal and carcinoid components were seen in strumal carcinoid. The insular and trabecular carcinoid were the common types of carcinoid. The synaptophysin (Syn) and chromogranin (CgA) were positive by immunohistochemistry. The patient with metastatic thyroid follicular carcinoma of ovary had a history of thyroid nodules for 13 years and the tumor grew rapidly in a short time. Under the microscope, dense thyroid follicles were arranged in papillary or diffuse distribution. Tumor cells were rich in eosinophilic cytoplasm and accompanied by follicular cell tumor-like hyperplasia. Conclusions Papillary tumor and strumal carcinoid are the most common primary malignant tumors of ovary with thyroid component, which both presented low malignancy and good prognosis. Ovarian metastasis from thyroid cancer is extremely rare and needs to be differentiated from primary ovarian thyroid cancer.
