Overview
CT scan of the pelvis may be helpful in identifying a mass in the pelvic cavity but may not hold much value in the diagnosis of struma ovarii. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of struma ovarii.
CT scan
CT scan of the pelvis may be helpful in identifying a mass in the pelvic cavity but may not hold much value in the diagnosis of struma ovarii. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of struma ovarii which include:
- Pleural effusion on chest CT scan. [1]
- Mass in the pelvic cavity shows up on pelvic CT scan. [1]
- Axial CT scan images with IV contrast helps demonstrate the presence of a heterogeneous mass with macro calcifications and enhancement of the solid components. [2]
