Most are benign, but ∼5% are malignant. Non-specific symptoms often delay diagnosis or mimic other ovarian lesions. This series presents three malignant SO cases with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in Hamilton, Canada. Case 1: A 32-year-old woman presented with pelvic pressure and urinary frequency. MRI revealed a 21.6 cm right ovarian cyst with bilateral hydronephrosis. Right cystectomy pathology showed high-grade follicular variant PTC with a Ki67 index of 12.7%. High-risk features, including >5 mitoses/2 mm² and intraperitoneal rupture, led to total thyroidectomy and completion right salpingo-oophorectomy. Thyroidectomy pathology revealed micro-PTC without lymph node involvement. She received 127.9 mCi of adjuvant radioactive iodine (RAI). Post-treatment whole-body scan showed uptake in the neck and left pelvis. She is managed with pelvic imaging, thyroglobulin monitoring, and TSH suppression. Recent thyroglobulin: 0.4 µg/L. Case 2: A 68-year-old woman with a history of Parkinson’s disease and treated primary hyperparathyroidism. An enlarging left adnexal mass was discovered during workup for recurrent nephrolithiasis, from 4.7 cm to 7 cm over 10 years becoming more complex with heterogeneous fat composition. she underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH-BSO). Pathology revealed thyroid tissue containing a well-encapsulated 0.4 cm follicular variant of PTC. After multidisciplinary discussion, no further treatment was deemed necessary. Her latest thyroglobulin was 46.9 ng/mL (normal: <48 ng/mL). Interestingly, the patient’s sister was also diagnosed with SO at age 65. Case 3: a 54-year-old woman with toxic thyroid nodules treated with 15 mCi of RAI 8 years prior to presentation, not requiring levothyroxine supplementation. Routine follow up of a left ovarian cyst demonstrated a 7cm multilocular cystic and solid right adnexal mass. She was asymptomatic. She underwent a TAH-BSO with pathology from the left ovary showing a solid trabecular subtype of micro-PTC measuring 0.8cm arising in struma ovarii. There was no angioinvasion or necrosis with 2 mitoses per 2 mm2. Ki67 index was 5-7%. The right ovary was unremarkable. Post-operative thyroglobulin was 10.3 ng/mL (normal: <49.3 ng/mL). Pre-operative CT chest abdomen pelvis did not show metastatic disease. Next steps in management include multidisciplinary discussions to determine the role of thyroidectomy and adjuvant RAI ablation. These cases highlight varied malignant SO management, from aggressive treatment to conservative strategies, emphasizing individualized care. Further research is needed to establish standardized guidelines for managing this rare condition. Presentation: Saturday, July 12, 2025

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
