Abstract

Introduction and importance: Struma ovarii is a monodermal teratoma which characterized by the presence of thyroid tissue. The symptoms of this tumor are nonspecific and thus misdiagnosis and indifference to other ovarian lesions are very common. Case presentation: Herein, we described a case of struma ovarii that was successfully diagnosed and managed. The tumor is mimicking a malignant tumor based on ascites and tumor marker assessments. Although, thyroid function indices are normal. Clinical discussion: The initial footprint of the tumor is mostly based on incidental imaging, but definitive diagnosis is possible based on pathological studies. Surgical resection of the tumor can be led to successful treatment and prognosis. Conclusion: Struma ovarii is a rare tumor and also misdiagnosis is common. Regarding rarity of Struma Ovarii, the treatment option is debated. However, in postmenopausal cases with the aim of completely removing the symptoms, total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy can be occasionally indicative. © 2022 The Authors
