Malignant struma ovarii, a rare ovarian teratoma, can present as a follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. This case highlights a unique instance of this aggressive thyroid cancer in the ovary.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic pathology
  • Endocrine pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Struma ovarii are germ cell tumors containing thyroid tissue.
  • These tumors can exhibit benign or malignant microscopic features.
  • Malignant transformation necessitates accurate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A rare case of malignant struma ovarii was identified in a 65-year-old woman.
  • The tumor was exclusively composed of the follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
  • Capsular invasion was a notable feature of the malignant component.

Findings:

  • The presented struma ovarii demonstrated a rare malignant morphology.
  • Exclusively follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma was identified.

  • Evidence of capsular invasion indicated aggressive tumor behavior.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of malignant struma ovarii presentations.
    • Highlights the importance of thorough histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis.
    • Informs clinical management strategies for rare ovarian malignancies.
