Treatment and Follow-up in an Asymptomatic Malignant Struma Ovarii: A case report

Discussion There is little evidence in literature on the conservative management in cases with evidence of malignancy. If fertility preservation is desired, an unilateral oophorectomy could be performed, along with levels of serum thyroglobulin as a marker of relapse. Other authors claim for aggressive ovarian cancer surgery followed by a total thyroidectomy. There is still no established management for struma ovarii patients and the choice for a conservative or radical approach depends only on the professional decision.
