Sažetak
Primary carcinoid tumors of the ovary account for 5% of ovarian teratomas. They are frequently components of mature cystic teratomas or, less commonly, mucinous cystadenomas. Most tumors are seen in peri- or postmenopausal women with symptoms of enlarging mass, or are incidental findings. Microscopically, there are four major variants of ovarian teratomas of carcinoid type: insular, trabecular, strumal and mucinous. One-third of patients with the insular type of carcinoids have symptoms of the carcinoid syndrome. Strumal carcinoid is an unusual form of ovarian teratoma composed of an intimate admixture of thyroid and carcinoid tissues that vary in their relative proportions. Two patients with ovarian tumors showing typical morphology of primary ovarian strumal carcinoid are described.
