Overview

In 1889, Boettlin was the first who described struma ovarii as an ovarian tumor. By observing the ovaries, he discovered the presence of thyroid follicular tissue in them. Further reports thereafter were published by Gottschalk in 1899.

Historical Perspective

  • In 1889, Boettlin discovered ovarian tumor with the presence of thyroid follicular tissue in the ovary. [1]
  • In 1895, Von Klden and Gottschalk in 1899 described Struma ovarii as the most common type of monodermal teratoma. [2]
