Abstract

Struma ovarii is a monodermal teratoma which contains thyroid tissue. It is a rare ovarian neoplasm, mostly having benign nature. Clinical as well as radiological feature are not specific and diagnosis of this is based on histopathological examination. Cystic struma ovarii is very rare. We present a case of struma ovarii arising from right ovary in a 52-year-old female patient presented with abdominal discomfort and pain in abdomen. The tumor was cystic in nature which is again a rare occurrence. Cystic struma ovarii is a rare diagnosis, a good histopathological diagnosis is needed.
