Overview
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for Struma ovarii.
Screening
- There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for Struma ovarii.
- For follow-up as a marker of recurrence, serum thyroglobulin levels and I131 scan may be used. [1] [2]
- The I131 scan or thyroglobulin have no aid in the follow-up if thyroidectomy is not performed. [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]
