    True struma ovarii, a rare thyroid tissue neoplasm, is typically benign and asymptomatic. This study observed three cases, finding no signs of malignancy or recurrence, confirming its generally non-aggressive nature.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Endocrinology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Struma ovarii is a rare germ cell tumor, a type of teratoma, primarily composed of thyroid tissue.
    • While often asymptomatic, it can present with mild discomfort or, rarely, cause hyperthyroidism due to hormone secretion.

    Observation:

    • The study details the clinical and anatomopathological features of three surgically treated cases of true struma ovarii.
    • All observed cases were characterized by the presence of typical thyroid tissue within the ovarian neoplasm.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination revealed no malignant features in any of the three cases.
    • Post-surgical follow-up, although relatively short, showed no evidence of tumor recurrence or metastasis in any patient.

    Implications:

    • These findings reinforce the understanding that true struma ovarii is predominantly a benign ovarian tumor.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical management appear effective in preventing adverse outcomes associated with this rare neoplasm.
