Article Abstract

Malignant struma ovarii (MSO) is an extremely rare monodermal ovarian teratoma. Preoperative diagnosis and intraoperative freezing diagnosis are exceedingly difficult due to the rarity of the disease and its clinically noncharacteristic manifestations with less than 200 reports in the current literature. In this paper, a case of MSO (papillary carcinoma) with hyperthyroidism was discussed in terms of its epidemiology, clinicopathology, molecular features, treatment, and prognosis.

Struma ovarii (SO) is a rare form of ovarian teratoma predominantly composed of thyroid tissue. While most cases follow a benign course, some may exhibit malignant transformation or extra-ovarian spread. We present the case of a 43-year-old woman with a history of SO previously treated with right oophorectomy and systemic chemotherapy, along with a separate diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma managed with total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine ablation.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies for Intraoperative and Postoperative Hypocalcemia in Pediatric Thyroidectomy Patients: A Single-Center Experience.

J Pediatr Surg

September 2025

Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Endocrinology, Chair of Pediatrics, Institute of Pediatrics, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Krakow, Poland; Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Endocrinology, University Children's Hospital of Krakow, Krakow, Poland.

Background: The primary goals of surgical management in thyroid disorders are the treatment of malignancy, goiter, and thyrotoxicosis, while adhering to the principle of 'primum non nocere'. Hypocalcemia is among the most common complications, primarily resulting from inadvertent injury to the parathyroid glands.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 2015-2023 records of Polish pediatric patients who underwent thyroid surgery.

Rationale: Struma ovarii is a rare form of mature cystic teratoma, with malignant transformation reported in approximately 5% to 10% of cases. Transformation into follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is extremely uncommon; as a result, no standardized guidelines exist for treatment or prognosis for such cases.

Patient Concerns: A 54-year-old woman with cholelithiasis presented with upper abdominal discomfort.

Preoperative serum lipids as novel predictors for concomitant thyroid carcinoma in Graves' disease.

PeerJ

September 2025

Department of Thyroid Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

Background: The occurrence of thyroid carcinoma in patients with Graves' disease (GD) has been rising recently. However, the linkage between lipids and the incidence of thyroid carcinoma among GD patients is still not well-established.

Objective: The research aims to explore the relationship between serum lipid concentrations and the occurrence of thyroid cancer in patients diagnosed with GD.

Hyperspectral imaging has shown significant applicability in the medical field, particularly for its ability to represent spectral information that can differentiate specific biomolecular characteristics in tissue samples. However, the complexity of analyzing HSI data, due to its high dimensionality and the large volume of information, presents significant challenges. At the same time, deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks, has become an essential tool in medical diagnostics, providing detailed analysis across various contexts.
