title: [Strumal carcinoid tumor of the ovary--histologic and electron microscopy characteristics of the tumor].
abstract: Strumal carcinoid tumor is a very rare primary tumor of the ovary in which carcinoid is admixed with tissue resembling thyroid follicles. We report a 44-year-old women with benign strumal carcinoid tumor of the ovary and without any clinical symptoms. Histochemical and electron microscopical examinations of the tumor showed intracytoplasmic dense core secretory granules, indicating that this neoplasm is a pure carcinoid tumor with acinar differentiation resembling thyroid tissue.
