- Malignant struma ovarii (MSO) is a rare form of cancer derived from ovarian tissue that contains thyroid elements, making diagnosis difficult due to ambiguous imaging criteria.

- Surgical intervention (total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) confirmed the presence of MSO in the right ovary, highlighting the potential for specific imaging features to suggest this uncommon diagnosis.
