ABSTRACT
Struma ovarii is a very rare tumour of the ovary, which is usually benign. It is a solid cystic swelling of the ovary, which is characterised by the presence of histologically detectable thyroid tissue. Confirmatory diagnosis is usually on histopathology after resection of the tumour. It is difficult to identify struma ovarii with radiological investigations alone as it may mimic malignancy. In this case report, we present the case of a 48-year-old woman who had a total abdominal hysterectomy for an incidental finding of right adnexal mass on ultrasound scan following a 10-day history of loose stools and pain in the abdomen. It was ultimately found to be a follicular variant of papillary carcinoma in struma ovarii after a pathological examination.
