We report a case of papillary carcinoma in struma ovarii in a 27-year-old lady
who was admitted with an acute pain in the abdomen. She underwent laparoscopic cystectomy, followed by laparoscopic unilateral
salpingo-oophorectomy, total thyroidectomy, and iodine-131 treatment on confirmation of the diagnosis of papillary carcinoma
in struma ovarii. Malignancy in struma ovarii can be managed satisfactorily with a combination of surgery and treatment options
currently available for primary thyroid cancer. Papillary variant has a more favourable prognosis than its follicular counterpart.
