Struma ovarii con un foco de micro-carcinoma papilar variante folicular de tiroides: reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura / Struma ovarii with follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma: report of one case

ABSTRACT

Struma ovarii is an ovarian teratoma composed mainly of thyroid tissue, which can occasionally develop a malignant thyroid tumor. We report a 61 years old female consulting for a metrorrhagia in whom an ovarian cyst was discovered. The patient was subjected to a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. The pathological study of the surgical piece revealed a focus of papillary thyroid carcinoma, follicular variety in a right struma ovarii. Three months after surgery, an abdominal CAT scan did not show any abnormality.
