Abstract
Objective of Study: Ovarian goiter is a single-tissue teratoma made up of thyroid tissue representing 0.85 to 1.3% of ovarian tumors. The objective of our study is to report on a case of an ovarian goiter accompanied by a complete analysis of the literature in relation to the case. Conclusions: An ovarian goiter is a rare pathology, often asymptomatic, and difficult to diagnose. Few series are described in the literature. In our case, we propose a model for the management of a benign ovarian goiter. Surgical revision and adjuvant treatment is indicated in cases of malignancy of the ovarian goiter.
