A case of associated ovarian and cervical thyroid struma in a 24-year old female, is reported. The patient was affected by a right thyroid cold nodule which at fine needle aspiration biopsy showed the cytological pattern of benign follicular adenoma; as the nodule was increasing after one year of suppressive therapy, the patient was selected for surgery. At admission during routine physical examination a previously undetected left pelvic mass was discovered: at laparotomy it proved to be a cystic tumor consisting of benign thyroid tissue at the level of left ovary. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of follicular adenoma of the right thyroid nodule after right lobectomy. Albeit cases of thyroid tissue in the ovary have been reported, true struma ovarii is a rare occurrence. A concomitant hyperthyroidism is seen in only 1/4 of cases and the patients can be divided into three groups: hyperthyroid, ascitic and asymptomatic: our patient was in the asymptomatic group.
