Abstract
Struma ovarii is a rare ovarian tumor composed entirely or in part of thyroid tissue. Pathogenesis is unclear. Diagnosis rests on the histologic study. A case is reported. Specific features of struma ovarii are discussed based on a review of the literature. The treatment is surgical and the outcome generally favorable.
