Struma ovarii is an ovarian germ cell tumor consisting mainly of thyroid tissue. Five percent of struma ovarii are malignant, and of these only five percent metastasize. The rarity of this disease has resulted in difficulty in agreeing on treatment regimes and in limited imaging experience. The authors report two cases and highlight the imaging and monitoring difficulties encountered in their management. The authors conclude that I-131 has a role to play both therapeutically and in monitoring these patients, but that biochemical testing is a more reliable indicator of disease status.
卵巢甲状腺肿是一种主要由甲状腺组织构成的卵巢生殖细胞肿瘤。5%的卵巢甲状腺肿为恶性，其中仅有5%会发生转移。这种疾病的罕见性导致在治疗方案的共识以及影像学经验方面存在困难。作者报告了两例病例，并强调了在其治疗过程中遇到的影像学和监测方面的困难。作者得出结论，I - 131在治疗和监测这些患者方面都能发挥作用，但生化检测是疾病状态更可靠的指标。
