Article Synopsis
- - Malignant struma ovarii (MSO) is a rare type of thyroid cancer that originates in the ovary, impacting a small percentage (8.8%) of patients with struma ovarii, as discovered in a study of 170 patients at a tertiary hospital in Korea.
- - Most MSO patients were middle-aged, with papillary thyroid carcinoma being the most common subtype, and diagnosis typically occurred post-surgery without any preoperative indications.
- - Despite the generally favorable prognosis, only about half of the MSO patients received consultation from an endocrinologist, highlighting the need for their involvement in treatment planning.
