- Abstract
Well-differentiated thyroid cancer arising in struma ovarii is rare. The optimal management of this entity remains undefined. Unilateral cystectomy, unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (USO), or total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH/BSO), in addition to total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation, have been employed by various groups. We hypothesized that in patients with thyroid cancer arising within struma ovarii, pelvic surgery alone would be sufficient, provided there is no evidence of gross extra-ovarian extension.
