title: Struma ovarii accompanied by mature cystic teratoma of the other ovary: A case report and literature review.
abstract: Struma ovarii, as a monodermal variant of ovarian teratoma, constitutes <3% of ovarian teratomas. It is difficult determine a diagnosis prior to surgery. The current study reports an unusual case of struma ovarii occurring in a 49 year-old female, which was accompanied by mature cystic teratoma involving the other ovary.

The bilateral tumors were resected and follow-up examinations were planned at four month intervals. At the time of writing, the patient was well and no tumor recurrence had been identified.
