Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for Struma ovarii. For benign cases of struma ovarii the treatment is surgical resection only. For malignant cases of struma ovarii an adjuvant treatment is recommended.
Surgery
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for Struma ovarii.
- For benign cases of struma ovarii the treatment is surgical resection only. For malignant cases of struma ovarii an adjuvant treatment may be needed, but recurrence is uncommon. [1]
- Pre-operative radiological diagnosis is important to avoid ovarian cancer type surgery (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, hysterectomy, omentectomy and occasionally appendectomy). [2]
- In patients without disseminated disease, surgical excision has been opted as the preferred treatment because of it's fairly good prognosis. [3]
Surgical therapy is done by procedures such as:
- Exploratory laparotomy
- Laparoscopic methods
Surgical modalities include:
- Total hysterectomy with unilateral or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
- Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
- Extirpation of struma ovarii
- For malignant struma ovarii, infra-colic omentectomy is preferred.
- Bilateral ovariectomy [4]
- Total thyroidectomy [4]
- Omentectomy and occasionally appendectomy. [2]
