Overview

Struma ovarii which is potentially malignant should be differentiated from an ovarian mass with cystic, solid, or mixed cystic and solid structure. Struma ovarii must be differentiated from other diseases like benign and malignant ovarian neoplasmovarian cystendometrioma and tubo-ovarian abscess.

Differentiating Struma ovarii from other Diseases

  • Struma ovarii which is potentially malignant should be differentiated from an ovarian mass with cystic, solid, or mixed cystic and solid structure. [1]
  • Struma ovarii must be differentiated from other causes of hyperthyroidism such as Grave's disease and toxic nodular goiter.
Cause of thyrotoxicosis TSH receptor antibodies Thyroid US Color flow Doppler Radioactive iodine uptake/Scan Other features
Graves' disease + Hypoechoic pattern ? ? Ophthalmopathy, dermopathy, acropachy
Toxic nodular goiter - Multiple nodules - Hot nodules at thyroid scan -
Toxic adenoma - Single nodule - Hot nodule -
Subacute thyroiditis - Heterogeneous hypoechoic areas Reduced/absent flow ? Neck pain, fever, and
elevated inflammatory index
Painless thyroiditis - Hypoechoic pattern Reduced/absent flow ? -
Amiodarone induced thyroiditis-Type 1 - Diffuse or nodular goiter ?/Normal/? ? but higher than in Type 2 High urinary iodine
Amiodarone induced thyroiditis-Type 2 - Normal Absent ?/absent High urinary iodine
Central hyperthyroidism - Diffuse or nodular goiter Normal/? ? Inappropriately normal or high TSH
Trophoblastic disease - Diffuse or nodular goiter Normal/? ? -
Factitious thyrotoxicosis - Variable Reduced/absent flow ? ? Serum thyroglobulin
Struma ovarii - Variable Reduced/absent flow
  • Low or absent in the thyroid gland
  • Present in the pelvis
Abdominal RAIU
Disease Findings
Thyroiditis Direct chemical toxicity with inflammation Amiodarone, sunitinib, pazopanib, axitinib, and other tyrosine kinase inhibitors may also be associated with a destructive thyroiditis.[10][11]
Radiation thyroiditis Patients treated with radioiodine may develop thyroid pain and tenderness 5 to 10 days later, due to radiation-induced injury and necrosis of thyroid follicular cells and associated inflammation.
Drugs that interfere with the immune system Interferon-alfa is a well-known cause of thyroid abnormality. It mostly leads to the development of de novo antithyroid antibodies.[12]
Lithium Patients treated with lithium are at a high risk of developing painless thyroiditis and Graves' disease.
Palpation thyroiditis Manipulation of the thyroid gland during thyroid biopsy or neck surgery and vigorous palpation during the physical examination may cause transient hyperthyroidism.
Exogenous and ectopic hyperthyroidism Factitious ingestion of thyroid hormone The diagnosis is based on the clinical features, laboratory findings, and 24-hour radioiodine uptake.[13]
Acute hyperthyroidism from a levothyroxine overdose The diagnosis is based on the clinical features, laboratory findings, and 24-hour radioiodine uptake.[14]
Struma ovarii Functioning thyroid tissue is present in an ovarian neoplasm.
Functional thyroid cancer metastases Large bony metastases from widely metastatic follicular thyroid cancer cause symptomatic hyperthyroidism.
Hashitoxicosis It is an autoimmune thyroid disease that initially presents with hyperthyroidism and a high radioiodine uptake caused by TSH-receptor antibodies similar to Graves' disease. It is then followed by the development of hypothyroidism due to the infiltration of the thyroid gland with lymphocytes and the resultant autoimmune-mediated destruction of thyroid tissue, similar to chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.[15]
Toxic adenoma and toxic multinodular goiter Toxic adenoma and toxic multinodular goiter are results of focal/diffuse hyperplasia of thyroid follicular cells independent of TSH regulation. Findings of single or multiple nodules are seen on physical examination or thyroid scan.[16]
Iodine-induced hyperthyroidism It is uncommon but can develop after an iodine load, such as administration of contrast agents used for angiography or computed tomography (CT), or iodine-rich drugs such as amiodarone.
Trophoblastic disease and germ cell tumors Thyroid-stimulating hormone and HCG have a common alpha-subunit and a beta-subunit with considerable homology. As a result, HCG has weak thyroid-stimulating activity and high titer HCG may mimic hyperthyroidism.[17]
