Abstract Purpose Prostatic tissue in an ovarian teratoma is an unusual finding, whose initiation in a 46, XX karyotype tissue is yet to be clarified. We present a case from our files and review the literature for this intriguing finding. Methods Unstained histology sections of the ovarian teratoma containing prostatic tissue were evaluated using immunohistochemistry for PSA and androgen receptor. Results Both PSA and androgen receptor immunostainings were positive in the prostatic tissue. From the literature review, it appears that most of the patients (74%) with similar findings were either pregnant or experiencing a miscarriage, menopausal or infertile at presentation, showing that an imbalanced hormone status is frequently associated with the presence of male structures in ovarian teratomas.

We report a case of a woman from Thailand, living in Malta, who was diagnosed with concomitant tuberculosis (TB) and HIV with depleted CD4 count. Her case was further complicated by the formation of a fistula between the mediastinal lymph nodes and the oesophagus, an unusual finding but for which she had many risk factors. The diagnosis was suspected on CT scan of the thorax and confirmed via upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Following the commencement of both anti-TB and antiretroviral therapy, she suffered a lapse of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome but with aggressive medical management eventually made a full recovery without the need for surgical intervention.
