Abstract
Objective: Ovarian carcinoid is categorized as a borderline tumor in the ovarian neoplasm classification system. However, the treatment of this disease remains controversial, especially in patients wishing to become pregnant. Case: The patient was a 27-year-old woman. She was diagnosed with a benign ovarian cystic tumor (less than 6cm in diameter) preoperatively, and underwent total laparoscopic cystectomy of right ovary. Pathological examination revealed right ovarian strumal carcinoid with mature cystic teratoma. Conclusion: There have been no recurrence or reported cases of death associated with ovarian strumal carcinoid with mature cystic teratoma. However, we have to pay attention to this borderline disease even in ovarian tumors less than 6cm in diameter.
