  • Title: [Primary hyperthyroidism after excision of a Struma ovarii].
    Author: Sapunar J, Roa JC, Meissner A.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 2003 Jul; 131(7):785-7. PubMed ID: 14513700.
    Abstract:
    Struma ovarii is a teratoma composed of thyroid tissue and can be a rare cause of hyperthyroidism. We report a 35 years old woman with a left ovarian mass whose pathology revealed a Struma ovarii. This tumor was partially excised initially to avoid fertility problems and after a successful gestation, the tumor was completely removed during a cesarean section. Sixty days after delivery a hypothyroidism was diagnosed. Levothyroxine was started and euthyroidism was achieved.
