Abstract:
The malignant degeneration of a cystic teratoma of the ovary is a rare complication which different authors place at between 0.8 to 4%. Adenocarcinomas represent a relatively rare complication, 8% of secondary cancers, those of thyroid origin being reported in only 5 cases. The aim of this paper is to present the sixth such case of thyroid carcinoma developed in a mature teratoma in the ovary.
