Key clinical messageStruma ovarii (SO), is a rare and specialized ovarian teratoma. The treatment is controversial depending on the risk of recurrence and metastasis. Here a SO with papillary thyroid carcinoma is reported and the approach is thoroughly discussed.AbstractStruma ovarii (SO) is a highly specialized ovarian teratoma primarily composed of thyroid tissue. Clinical features associated with SO include lower abdominal discomfort, unusual vaginal bleeding, ascites, and hyperthyroidism. While SO rarely transforms into malignancy, the optimal degree of treatment remains controversial due to the varying risks of recurrence and metastasis. In this report, we present the case of a 64‐year‐old woman experiencing abdominal pain and diagnosed with SO, accompanied by papillary thyroid carcinoma. We thoroughly discuss the evaluation and management of this rare condition.
