Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Struma ovarii include histopathologic studies and elevated CA 125 levels
Laboratory Findings
- Histopathologic studies may aid in diagnosing the malignant struma ovarii when there is no evidence of clinical malignancy or metastases. [1]
- Elevated levels of CA 125 has been reported rarely in approximately only 8-10 cases so far. [2] [3]
- In cases of metastatic struma ovarii post total thyroidectomy along with radioiodine scanning and radioiodine ablation, the thyroglobulin levels must be monitored as a tumor marker, and diagnostic radioiodine scans should be done to screen for residual or recurrent disease. [4]
