Mature cystic teratomas are common tumors in reproductive-age women. Biologic activity in a small percentage of these neoplasms is well recognized. Thyroid hormone is the most commonly secreted substance.
A 25-year-old woman presented with a large abdominal mass and virilism. Preoperative evaluation revealed elevated creatinine and testosterone levels and anemia. Computed tomography (CT) showed fat-fluid levels and multiple calcifications within the mass and obstruction of the right kidney. At surgery a 30-cm left ovarian mass was removed. Left ovarian vein testosterone levels were markedly elevated. Pathology reported a mature cystic teratoma. Postoperatively the testosterone levels returned to normal.
In rare instances androgen production and virilization may occur with mature cystic teratoma.
成熟囊性畸胎瘤是育龄期女性常见的肿瘤。这些肿瘤中有一小部分具有生物学活性,这一点已得到充分认识。甲状腺激素是最常分泌的物质。
一名25岁女性因腹部巨大肿块和男性化症状就诊。术前评估显示肌酐、睾酮水平升高以及贫血。计算机断层扫描(CT)显示肿块内有脂肪-液体平面和多处钙化,右肾梗阻。手术中切除了一个30厘米的左侧卵巢肿块。左侧卵巢静脉睾酮水平明显升高。病理报告为成熟囊性畸胎瘤。术后睾酮水平恢复正常。
在罕见情况下,成熟囊性畸胎瘤可能会产生雄激素并导致男性化。
