[Struma ovarii: a rare tumor that deserves special management. Case report and review of the literature].
Struma ovarii is a rare benign tumor which represents less than 3% of ovarian teratomas. We report a case of struma ovarii occurring in a 64-year-old woman. This tumor was thought to be a malignant ovarian tumor until surgical exploration. Based on this observation and the review of the literature we describe the main characteristics and propose a diagnostic and therapeutic management scheme for such tumors.
