Struma ovarii – an interesting case of ovarian tumor in pregnancy
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: Dermoid tumors in pregnancy occur not infrequently. Struma ovarii comprises 1–4% of all dermoid tumors of the ovary, and very rarely presents in a malignant form, occurring in 0.3%–5% of all struma ovarii tumors. Struma ovarii belongs to the group of monodermic teratomas. It is a rare variety of ovarian neoplasm. The condition is difficult to identify without histopathological examination. Surgery is the only treatment because malignant alteration is possible and thyroid hyperactivity or hyperthyroidism may occur. Our patient had dermoid–struma ovarii throughout pregnancy and had uneventful pregnancy outcome
