Overview

Case report highlights struma ovarii, a rare ovarian teratoma with thyroid tissue, suggesting challenges in preoperative diagnosis.

Key Points

  • Struma ovarii is a rare type of ovarian teratoma characterized by thyroid tissue predominance.
  • Histopathology is essential for definitive diagnosis, which can be challenging due to nonspecific symptoms.
  • Most cases occur in women aged 40-50, often presenting similarly to mature teratoma.
  • Oophorectomy or ovarian cystectomy is the common treatment, with a generally favorable prognosis post-surgery.
