“…Struma ovarii is a monodermal and highly specialized teratoma that accounts for 0.85 to 1.3 percent of all ovarian tumors [1]. Thyroid tissue is seen in 5-15 percent of benign ovarian teratomas, but the thyroid proportion must be more than 50% of the overall tissue to be classified as a struma ovarii tumor [2][3][4].…”

Struma ovarii is a rare condition with scarce published data regarding clinical, morphological, and therapeutic approaches. This study reports the experience of 25 patients with struma ovarii who received surgical treatment in a gynecology department in Romania. The study was conducted from January 1999 to September 2021 and included patients with confirmed struma ovarii whose medical records were retrospectively reviewed and evaluated. Struma ovarii represented 2.8% of the total number of benign ovarian tumors treated by surgery. The age of the patients was between 24 and 71 years. The tumor was unilateral in 24 cases, 13 cases on the left ovary, 11 on the right side, and bilateral in 1 case. Tumor dimensions ranged between 1 cm and 20 cm. In two cases, the patients had symptoms of hyperthyroidism. The procedure was performed on four women for diagnoses other than an ovarian tumor. In another five situations, there was suspicion of ovarian malignancy. In addition, struma ovarii was associated with other clinical conditions in 22 cases. These lesions represent a diagnostic challenge with heterogeneous clinical and imaging manifestations. Complete information of clinical, morphologic, and surgical findings may improve the diagnostic algorithm and better predict patient outcomes.
