Abstract
|
|
|
Struma ovarii is a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary. It is an uncommon tumor accounting for 2.7% of all ovarian teratomas and composed totally or in overwhelming proportion of thyroid tissues. When thyroid tissue constitutes more than 50% of the tumor, it is usually called a struma ovarii. Grossly, they are encapsulated, several centimeters in diameter and have a red, shiny, and meaty surface. Microscopically, the tumor is composed of mature thyroid tissue consisting of various sizes, lined by a single layer of columnar or flattened epithelium. The clinical behavior is benign and simple excision is adequate treatment.
We have experienced a case of struma ovarii arising from the left ovary. So, we report this case with review of literatures.
