Overview

Case report highlights struma ovarii's nonspecific symptoms and importance of histopathology in diagnosis.

Key Points

  • Struma ovarii, a rare tumor, accounted for 1% of ovarian tumors and involves more than 50% thyroid tissue.
  • The patient, a 41-year-old female, presented with abdominal discomfort and a cystic ovarian mass, confirmed as struma ovarii.
  • Laparoscopic surgery was performed, which resolved symptoms and confirmed the diagnosis upon histopathological analysis.
  • Recognizing struma ovarii is vital for diagnosis, as it may cause complications like thyrotoxicosis despite typically being benign.
