Struma ovarii is a rare variant of the mature ovarian teratoma composed of more than 50% thyroid tissue. Thyroid type carcinoma can occur in 5% of struma ovarii. Given the rarity of this pathology, as well as the different clinical course, approaches to the treatment of this disease are controversial. The proposed approaches to treatment vary from ovarian resection to total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and adjuvant therapy. We present here 6 case reports of thyroid type carcinoma in struma ovarii and outcome of patients treated in our clinic. All patients had pelvic surgery of different extent, followed by thyroidectomy and radioiodine therapy. The incidence of metastasis is 67% (4/6), 2 - intraperitoneal metas-tases, 2 - bone metastases. Among patients with metastases, 2 have reached a complete response, one with a good response continues treatment, one had progression. The follow-up period is 1 to 15 years (median 4 years). One patient with follicular carcinoma died of progression 8 years after diagnosis. The remaining patients are alive.
