Struma ovarii is a mature ovarian teratoma characterized by the predominant presence of thyroid-tissue components. Typically, struma ovarii presents as relatively small masses (<10 cm) that often appear as multilocular cystic tumors with solid components. Herein, we report the unique case of a 44-year-old female with a large tumor including a solid mass. The solid components of the tumor comprised typical thyroid tissues with multiple small cystic structures containing colloid-like material. Given the rarity of struma ovarii, atypical imaging features can sometimes be misleading. This article highlights the unusual magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of a large struma ovarii, with a specific focus on the presence of solid components.
卵巢甲状腺肿是一种成熟的卵巢畸胎瘤,其特征是主要存在甲状腺组织成分。通常,卵巢甲状腺肿表现为相对较小的肿块(<10厘米),常呈多房囊性肿瘤并伴有实性成分。在此,我们报告一例独特的病例,一名44岁女性患有一个包括实性肿块的大肿瘤。肿瘤的实性成分由典型的甲状腺组织组成,伴有多个含有胶样物质的小囊性结构。鉴于卵巢甲状腺肿较为罕见,非典型的影像学特征有时可能会产生误导。本文重点介绍了一例大的卵巢甲状腺肿不寻常的磁共振成像特征,特别关注实性成分的存在。
