Abstract
Struma ovarii is a rare ovarian tumour. It is
a monodermal variant of teratoma which is
characterized by presence of more than 50
thyroid tissue. It constitutes about 1percent
of ovarian tumours and 2.7 percent of teratomas.
It usually occurs in pure form and
rarely in association with Brenner and dermoid
cyst. Most of struma is benign. Only
5 to 10 percent are malignant. Herein presented
is a report of 65 year old female
