Thyroid papillary cancer elements arising from struma ovarii with benign peritoneal strumosis: Utility of iodine-123 imaging in diagnostics and treatment planning.

ABSTRACT:

Key clinical message

In this case of struma ovarii a right-sided ovarian mass contained features of papillary thyroid cancer. Diagnostic iodine-123 revealed multiple foci of extraovarian spread, likely as a manifestation of concomitant peritoneal strumosis. Unilateral oophorectomy, partial peritonectomy, and adjuvant iodine-131 treatment were performed for successful curative treatment.

Abstract

Struma ovarii is a rare form of mature teratoma defined by a predominance of thyroid tissue. Approximately 5% of all ovarian strumae exhibit malignant transformation. Due to their extreme rarity, there has been a lack of consensus concerning uniform diagnostic criteria. Appropriate, risk-stratified treatment strategies also remain widely unelaborated, based only on a small number of
