Struma ovarii, a rare ovarian neoplasm, shows low malignant potential. Conservative surgery is recommended for young patients with struma ovarii to preserve fertility.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Struma ovarii is a rare germ cell tumor of the ovary containing thyroid tissue.
  • This study reviews the clinicopathological features of struma ovarii.

Observation:

  • A retrospective analysis of 16 cases (2 malignant, 14 benign) over 20 years.
  • Struma ovarii represented 1.0% of all ovarian neoplasms and 4% of germ cell tumors.
  • Malignant cases were early-stage (1A, 1C) and low-grade; no hyperthyroidism was noted despite goiters.

Findings:

  • Preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis of malignant struma ovarii can be challenging.
  • Benign struma ovarii was found incidentally in contralateral ovaries with other neoplasms.
  • No bilateral struma ovarii tumors were observed.

Implications:

  • The slow progression and low metastatic potential of malignant struma ovarii suggest conservative surgical approaches.
  • Conservative management is particularly beneficial for young patients desiring future fertility.
