Abstract
Ovarian metastasis from a primary thyroid carcinoma is rare. In this report we describe a woman who manifested the unusual occurrence of metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma to the ovary. Both clinically and pathological ly, such a presentation can be difficult to distinguish from benign cystic neoplasms of the ovary or cystic struma ovarii.
