Postgrad Med J. 1999 Oct;75(888):617-8. doi: 10.1136/pgmj.75.888.617.

Abstract

We describe a case of follicular carcinoma in a functioning struma ovarii, which presented as an ovarian mass in a patient who had undergone a near-total thyroidectomy for a benign lesion. She underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and received radiotherapy and L-thyroxine treatment with no evidence of metastases in 4 years follow-up.
