Rationale:
Strumal carcinoid tumor of the ovary (SCTO) is a very rare kind of ovarian tumor. The symptoms of SCTO are often nonspecific and misleading. Therefore, a full understanding of the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment methods of SCTO is important.
Patient Concerns:
In this study, we report a 63-year-old woman with SCTO whose most obvious symptoms were abdominal distention and weight loss of 5 kg for about 1 month.
Diagnosis:
Her carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) levels were higher than normal. Gynecologic sonography showed an 8.8 × 7.5 cm mass with mixed density and an irregular shape behind the uterus. Pathologic and immunohistologic examinations confirmed SCTO of the right ovary.
Interventions:
The patient underwent complete surgical resection of the whole uterus, bilateral ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
Outcomes:
The patient recovered well with no obvious complications and was discharged on the 10th day postsurgery.
Lessons:
Complete surgical resection is vital to treat SCTO. Postsurgical pathologic and immunohistologic examinations can confirm a diagnosis of SCTO.
