[Struma carcinoid tumor within a dermoid cyst as an incidental finding in cesarean section].
A 25-year-old primigravida with breech presentation was admitted near term. During Caesarean section, a dermoid cyst of the right ovary was detected. The dermoid cyst was enucleated, preserving a plum-sized ovary. Histology revealed a strumal carcinoid within the excised dermoid cyst. From the histological point of view it was classified as a tumour of low malignancy. The clinical study provided no evidence of any metastases. On the 14th postoperative day the patient could be discharged from hospital subject to close aftercare control.
