There are limited reports on ovarian neoplasm occurring among identical twins. Most previous reports showed ovarian teratoma found in both twins. Herein, we report for the first time a case of ovarian mucinous cystadenoma with contralateral serous cystadenofibroma found in twin siblings.
One patient suffered from abdominal distension and the following computed tomography found ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. During the laparoscopy, another ovarian mass was found in the contralateral ovary. The histopathology revealed ovarian mucinous cystadenoma with contralateral serous cystadenofibroma. The twin sister had no symptoms but underwent gynecological screening. She also showed a similar finding, mucinous cystadenoma with serous cystadenofibroma on the contralateral ovary. Both patients underwent laparoscopic bilateral ovarian cystectomy.
This is the first clinical report on left ovarian mucinous cystadenoma with right serous cystadenofibroma in twin siblings. Our cases support awareness of ovarian tumors in twin sisters.
关于同卵双胞胎中发生卵巢肿瘤的报道有限。此前大多数报道显示双胞胎均患有卵巢畸胎瘤。在此,我们首次报告一例在双胞胎姐妹中发现的一侧为卵巢黏液性囊腺瘤而对侧为浆液性囊腺纤维瘤的病例。
一名患者因腹胀就诊,随后的计算机断层扫描发现卵巢黏液性囊腺瘤。在腹腔镜检查期间,在对侧卵巢发现了另一个卵巢肿物。组织病理学显示为一侧卵巢黏液性囊腺瘤而对侧为浆液性囊腺纤维瘤。双胞胎姐妹中的另一位没有症状,但接受了妇科筛查。她也有类似的发现,即一侧卵巢为黏液性囊腺瘤而对侧为浆液性囊腺纤维瘤。两名患者均接受了腹腔镜双侧卵巢囊肿切除术。
这是首例关于双胞胎姐妹中左侧卵巢黏液性囊腺瘤伴右侧浆液性囊腺纤维瘤的临床报告。我们的病例支持对双胞胎姐妹中的卵巢肿瘤提高认识。
