Consistent with their rarity and low incidence, imaging clues that could have led to suspicion of this tumor are not well-documented. Herein, the authors present a rare case of primary ovarian carcinoid tumor in a mature cystic teratoma, who initially presented with complaints of abdominal distension for months. Contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CT) demonstrated a multilobular mass with different density components including fat, soft tissue, and calcification materials, as well as rich vascular supply from the right ovarian vein. Serum tumor markers were within normal limits. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and the pathological diagnosis was mature cystic teratoma with coexisting primary ovarian carcinoid tumor, insular type. The patient has remained well with no residual disease for over one year of follow-up.[SDGs]SDG3abdominal distension; aged; article; bleeding; calcification; carcinoid; case report; computer assisted tomography; contrast enhancement; disease duration; echography; female; follow up; histopathology; human; human tissue; laparotomy; ovarian vein; ovary teratoma; primary ovarian carcinoid tumor; rare disease; salpingooophorectomy; soft tissue; vein blood flow; Aged; Carcinoid Tumor; Female; Humans; Neoplasms, Multiple Primary; Ovarian Neoplasms; Teratomajournal article10.12892/ejgo23942014246544752-s2.0-84895791838
