چکیده مقاله:

Primary ovarian carcinoid tumors of the ovary are rare and represent less than 0.1% of ovarian malignancy. One of its subtypes is the strumal carcinoid in which the thyroid tissue is seen in intimate association with carcinoid tumor. We here report a 47-year-old woman with strumal carcinoid of the right ovary presented with cessation of menstrual periods in the past 3 months and was referred due to a possible menopause-related symptom. A firm pelvic mass was found in physical examination and a large mass (20 × 15 × 8 cm) in the right ovary was reported in ultrasound evaluation. The spiral CT scan reported masses in both ovaries. The patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy plus bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The pathological evaluation revealed strumal carcinoid tumor with thyroid tissue in right ovary and benign cystic teratoma in left ovary. Our case was alive at 8 years after the operation with no disease recurrence.
