Core Tip
Core Tip: Struma ovarii with pseudo-Meigs’syndrome and elevated serum cancer antigen-125 is easily preoperatively misdiagnosed as ovarian cancer, leading to unnecessary extended surgery. In this case, the patient of giant struma ovarii with pseudo-Meigs’syndrome underwent conservative surgery in the form of a right salpingo-oophorectomy, as there was no evidence of malignancy according to the preoperative biopsy and intraoperative frozen analysis. Besides, this patient was premenopausal and to our knowledge, she is the youngest with this disease.
