Abstract :
Dual malignancy is rare in adolescents. Dual malignancy with the second malignancy of thyroid is rare. No association has been
reported between dysgerminoma of ovary and carcinoma thyroid in medical literature. Despite a thorough PubMed search
(key words — Papillary carcinoma of thyroid, metachronous, dysgerminoma ovary), we were unable to find a previous reported
case of metachronous papillary carcinoma of thyroid (PTC) following dysgerminoma of the ovary. After surgery, the patient is being
regularly followed up for recurrence/development of new primary. We report this unusual and rare case in a 17-year-old female patient.
