Abstract:
Introduction
Mature cystic teratomas account for 15 to 20% of
them1-4. Thyroid tissues are found in 15 to 20 percent
of those2,3 but the term “struma overii” where the major
proportion of the tumour comprised of thyroid tissue
accounts for only 3 to 5 percent5
. These are usually
benign but rarely show malignant transformation
(Malignant Struma Ovarii)5
. There are no protocols or
guidelines for the management of these tumours due
to its rarity, and management should be individualized. This is a case of papillary carcinoma of thyroid
arising in a struma ovarii which was managed by
conservative surgery. We are presenting this, due to
its rarity.
