Abstract:
Struma ovarii are specialized teratomas consisting of thyroid tissue. They may demonstrate all pathologic features seen in the thyroid gland. Malignant transformation of thyroid tissue in struma ovarii is uncommon and is rarely recurrent or metastatic. We report the diagnosis and treatment of a recurrent struma ovarii with malignant transformation, and intraperitoneal, retroperitoneal, and hepatic metastases.
