ABSTRACT
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.
