Abstract

A malignant strumal carcinoid with widespread metastases resembling a well-differentiated thyroid follicular carcinoma is described. Strumal carcinoid is a rare ovarian tumor which usually behaves in a benign manner. Only one malignant case has been reported in the literature and in that case the carcinoid element metastasized. The clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical findings of the current case together with the relationship between strumal carcinoids and struma ovarii are discussed.

    Spread within the peritoneum identified at surgery, known as peritoneal strumosis, is also usually benign, although patients should continue to be followed, as recurrence would instead suggest a diagnosis of minimal deviation follicular thyroid-type carcinoma (2). Rare cases of thyroid-type carcinoma originating in strumal tumors have been described, and these can metastasize; additionally, thyroid cancer can metastasize to the ovary (2,11,12). Carcinoid within the ovary is subtyped histologically as insular, trabecular, or mucinous, and more than one subtype may be present (2,3,8).
