“…Only a few cases concerning cytology of struma ovarii have been reported [13] [14]: their cytologic findings included the presence of typically colloid with mosaic pattern, follicles, follicular cells alone and/or sheets of follicular cells [14].…”

“…While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis has been reported to be useful for the differential diagnosis [10] [11] [12], the preoperative differential diagnosis between the struma ovarii and other malignant tumor is difficult due to the morphological similarities. In fact, only a few reports concerning cytological diagnosis of struma ovarii have been reported [13] [14], although immunocytochemistry might be a valuable tool for accurate diagnosis of the struma ovarii [14]. We present here a rare case of struma ovarii in a 34-year-old woman, and the imprint cytology during the laparoscopic surgery was useful for the diagnosis of the neoplasm.…”

We report a case of pure struma ovarii tumor diagnosed by cytology during laparoscopic surgery. The patient was a 34-year-old Japanese woman, gravida 1, para 1, who had the left adnexal mass, and was pre-operatively diagnosed as left ovarian endometriotic cyst or mature cystic teratoma by magnetic resonance imaging findings. She underwent laparoscopy, and the content of the left ovarian cystic tumor was found to be yellow gelatinous material, suggesting mature cystic teratoma. The imprint cytology of the tumor showed benign glandular pattern, suggesting struma ovarii. Histopathological findings led us to the diagnosis of pure struma ovarii with positive reactions for thyroglobulin and thyroid transcription factor-1. No metastases or disseminated lesions were detected. The patient has no recurrent signs 7 months after the operation.
