Abstract | INTRODUCTION: CASE REPORT: A right ovarian tumor was discovered at ultrasound examination in a 20-year-old woman. Complete right ovariectomy was done - histopathological examination revealed papillary thyroid carcinoma arising in struma ovarii (malignant struma ovarii). Patient underwent subsequent total thyroidectomy - the thyroid was found to be without any pathological lesions. After operations the patient received ablative radioiodine treatment (200 mCi 131I). An 131I posttherapeutic whole-body radioiodine scintigraphy was performed and showed uptake in bone metastases. L-thyroxine TSH suppresive doses followed radioiodine ablation and thyroglobulin level is monitored. Next doses of radioiodine has been scheduled. DISCUSSION:
