Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Struma ovarii is a rare benign tumor which represents less than 3% of ovarian teratomas.
Case Series: We report three cases of different clinical presentations of struma ovarii, to attempt to define the clinical features and characteristics of this tumor with respect to ultrasonographic findings, histological characteristics and way of optimal management. Conclusion: We recommend that, without any confirmation of malignancy, conservative management should be chosen and laparoscopic way should be preferred if possible. | |
