A perforated angular pregnancy, unsuspected and asymptomatic, was diagnosed in a 35-year-old woman during elective pregnancy termination in the first trimester. The pregnancy, along with free blood in the abdomen, was found when laparoscopy and then laparotomy were performed for suspected uterine perforation during suction and curettage. Cornual resection and salpingectomy were performed.

A rare case of malignant struma ovarii is presented. The tumor was excised together with the ovary and interpreted as a papillary strumal adenocarcinoma arising in a cystic teratoma with predominant thyroid elements. Prior to surgery the patient did not show any symptoms of thyroid hyperfunction. The thyroid function tests performed subsequent to surgery were within normal limits. Periodic examinations of the patient over a period of three years did not reveal any abnormalities. Statistically, this type of malignancy carries a good prognosis with a high "cure" rate.
