  • Title: Asymptomatic struma ovarii: a case report.
    Author: Porpora MG, Pallante D, Ferro A, Alò PL, Cosmi EV.
    Journal: Clin Exp Obstet Gynecol; 2005; 32(3):197-8. PubMed ID: 16433164.
    Abstract:
    Struma ovarii is a rare ovarian neoplasm. This tumor is generally benign, although malignant transformation has been reported. The preoperative diagnosis is generally difficult. Thyroid hormones may be produced and in a few cases asymptomatic women may develop definitive clinical hypothyroidism after resection of struma ovarii. We report a case of a 39-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic resection of an asymptomatic right ovarian mass. The pathologic diagnosis was struma ovarii. The postoperative period was uneventful and her thyroid function remained normal.
