Abstrakt: Struma ovarii comprises 1% of all ovarian tumors and 3% of ovarian teratomas. It occurs in older females. Struma ovarii is often asymptomatic, unilateral, and accidentally detected through abdominal ultrasound or computed tomography. It presents with palpable abdominal pain or irregular menstrual cycles. Generally, it is treated with surgical resection, even though the best procedure in these cases remains under discussion. In this study, we present a case of a 28-year-old female with severe pain in the right iliac fossa. Physical examination and radiological images showed a large mass. A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with omentectomy, a total mass resection, and an abdominal hysterectomy were performed. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of a follicular thyroid tumor. The management decision is based on clinical and pathological data. This is particularly challenging due to its rarity and the insufficient guidelines regarding the management of this type of cancer.
