Struma ovarii, a rare ovarian tumor, is typically benign but can rarely become malignant. This case highlights a successful laparoscopic resection of an asymptomatic struma ovarii with normal postoperative thyroid function.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Struma ovarii is a rare germ cell tumor of the ovary, predominantly benign, consisting of mature thyroid tissue.
  • Malignant transformation is infrequent but reported, posing diagnostic challenges.
  • Potential for thyroid hormone production can lead to hormonal imbalances, including hypothyroidism post-resection.

Observation:

  • A 39-year-old woman presented with an asymptomatic right ovarian mass.
  • Laparoscopic resection was performed for the ovarian mass.
  • Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of struma ovarii.

Findings:

  • The struma ovarii was successfully resected laparoscopically.
  • The postoperative recovery was uneventful.

  • The patient maintained normal thyroid function post-surgery.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering struma ovarii in the differential diagnosis of ovarian neoplasms.
    • Laparoscopic resection is a viable surgical option for struma ovarii.
    • Monitoring thyroid function post-operatively is crucial, although not always indicative of future complications.
