Papillary thyroid carcinoma in struma ovarii: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Thyroid cancer in a struma ovarii is rare, arising in approximately 5-10% of all struma ovarii and accounting for 3% of germ cell ovarian cancers. Because of its rarity, the diagnosis and management of this tumour have not been clearly defined. We present a case of 58-year-old female diagnosed with a primary malignant struma ovarii and review the literature on malignancy in struma ovarii cases.

A case report of malignant struma ovarii with papillary thyroid carcinoma

“…Despite these genetic associations, papillary thyroid carcinoma has an excellent surveillance record, mirroring its favorable prognosis. The 5 and 10‐year prognosis for malignant SO are 92% and 79%, respectively 12 In the literature, no optimum treatment has been declared for malignant SO 13 . Therefore, we present a rare case of SO and discuss its management.…”
