Abstract
Struma ovarii is a rare ovarian teratoma characterized predominantly by thyroid tissue, comprising approximately 1–5% of ovarian teratomas and less than 1% of all ovarian tumors. While most cases are benign, a small percentage may undergo malignant transformation, typically to papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma. Its clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic pelvic masses to features of hyperthyroidism due to functional hormone secretion. Diagnosis involves a combination of imaging, thyroid function assessment, and histopathological examination. Management primarily includes surgical intervention, with additional thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine treatment in malignant or metastatic cases. Prognosis is favorable, especially for benign tumors, though vigilant monitoring is essential due to rare recurrence or malignant progression. Awareness of this unique entity is crucial for improving diagnostic accuracy and optimizing patient outcomes. Key words: Struma, ovarian teratoma, thyroid tissue, hyperthyroidism, malignant transformation, papillary thyroid carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, ovarian tumor, gynecologic oncology, thyrotoxicosis, ovarian mass, thyroid function
