Abstract

Struma ovarii is an extremely rare teratoma of ovary representing 0.5-1% of all ovarian tumour and 2-5% all dermoid tumors of ovary. It occur mostly in adults usually between 30 and 50 years of age before menopause. It is most common type of monodermal teratoma and classified as teratoma only if composed predominantly of 50% of thyroid tissue.. We present a case of 52year postmenopausal woman who presented with pain in abdomen associated with abdominal distension. Imaging showed large solid cystic mass lesion in left adenexa and fallopian tube and raised carcinoma antigen (CA)-125 which was suspicious for Carcinoma Ovary. She underwent surgery, Post operative report confirmed the diagnosis of struma ovarii/strumal carcinoid of left ovary. We representing this case because of presence of thyroid tissue comprising more than 50% of overall mass.
