It comprises about 2% of all teratomas; and the majority of struma ovarii is benign tumor. But malignant struma ovarii; which showed malignant cell change arising in the benign struma ovarii; rarely reported. Here; we report an incidentally detected case of papillary thyroid carcinoma arising in the struma ovarii due to contralateral ovarian torsion in a 80-year old female.
