Overview

This case reports malignant transformation of struma ovarii into follicular thyroid carcinoma, highlighting diagnostic challenges and treatment implications.

Key Points

  • Malignant transformation of struma ovarii into follicular thyroid carcinoma occurred in a 54-year-old woman.
  • A 12-cm multilocular cystic tumor was diagnosed through imaging, later confirmed to be malignant after surgery.
  • Total abdominal hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy were performed, leading to no signs of tumor recurrence at the one-year follow-up.
  • This rare transformation requires thorough histopathological evaluation to ensure accurate diagnosis and management.
