Abstract

Papillary thyroid carcinoma arising from ovarian mature cystic teratoma is clinically rare. We herein present a case of live birth following two laparoscopic surgeries for papillary thyroid carcinoma arising in a mature ovarian cystic teratoma. A 30‑year‑old female patient, gravida 1 para 1, was treated by laparoscopic bilateral ovarian cystectomy for suspicion of bilateral mature cystic teratoma. The diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma arising from right ovarian mature cystic teratoma was established based on postoperative pathological examination of the tumor. Such rare neoplasms may be difficult to diagnose preoperatively based on radiological examinations alone. The patient underwent laparoscopic fertility‑preserving unilateral (right) salpingo‑oophorectomy. Following an extensive discussion with the patient and her family, appropriate informed consent was obtained for the treatment option and the patient and her family chose to preserve her fertility. She could have a baby following the treatment and no evidence of disease for 6 years. Gynecologists should be aware of the possibility of such rare cases, and the available surgical interventions should be fully discussed with patients who wish to preserve their fertility. Laparoscopic fertility‑sparing surgery may be a feasible option when encountering such a rare condition.
