Struma ovarii is a rare form of ovary tumour defined as the presence of ectopic thyroid tissue in the ovarian structures. It usually presents with a benign course, although in some cases carcinoma or other malignant tumours can be found in the context of the ectopic tissue. Herein we report the case of a young patient affected by struma ovarii visualized by means of 124I-NaPET/CT. Thanks to the excellent target-to-background ratio of the tracer and the high resolution of the method, we could well identify the presence of some minimal tumour at the level of the left ovary. To our knowledge, this is the first report of its kind.
卵巢甲状腺肿是一种罕见的卵巢肿瘤，定义为卵巢结构中存在异位甲状腺组织。它通常表现为良性病程，尽管在某些情况下，在异位组织中可发现癌或其他恶性肿瘤。在此，我们报告一例通过124I-Na PET/CT可视化的卵巢甲状腺肿年轻患者。由于该示踪剂具有出色的靶本底比以及该方法的高分辨率，我们能够很好地识别左卵巢水平存在的一些微小肿瘤。据我们所知，这是此类报告中的首例。
