Papillary thyroid carcinoma is rarely associated with metastatic disease. The most common sites of metastasis are the lungs and bones, while only few cases of ovarian metastasis are described in literature.
We report the case of a 51 years old woman, treated 9 years before for papillary thyroid carcinoma, presenting to our Institute with a pelvic ovarian mass revealed by ultrasound imaging. After bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, the histologic examination detected a left ovarian metastasis from papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Even if the diagnosis of ovarian metastasis from thyroid carcinoma is often controversial, it should be considered when a woman with an ovarian lesion of unknown origin, has a personal history of malignant thyroid disease.

甲状腺乳头状癌很少伴有转移性疾病。最常见的转移部位是肺和骨,而文献中仅描述了少数卵巢转移病例。
我们报告一例51岁女性病例,该患者9年前因甲状腺乳头状癌接受治疗,此次因超声成像发现盆腔卵巢肿物前来我院就诊。双侧输卵管卵巢切除术后,组织学检查发现左侧卵巢为甲状腺乳头状癌转移灶。
即使甲状腺癌卵巢转移的诊断常常存在争议,但当患有不明来源卵巢病变的女性有甲状腺恶性疾病个人史时,仍应考虑该诊断。
