==Overview==
==Overview==
*[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
Struma ovarii is a potentially [[malignant]] tumor, that 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 neoplasm]], [[ovarian cyst]], [[endometrioma]] and [[tubo-ovarian abscess]].
*[Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].


==Differentiating X from other Diseases==
==Differentiating Struma ovarii from other Diseases==
*[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
*[Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].


*As [disease name] manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtype. [Subtype name 1] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], such as [differential dx1] and [differential dx2]. In contrast, [subtype name 2] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 2], such as [differential dx3] and [differential dx4].
*Struma ovarii is a potentially [[malignant]] tumor, that should be differentiated from an [[ovarian mass]] with cystic, solid, or mixed cystic and solid structure such as: <ref name="pmid21269611">{{cite journal| author=Kraemer B, Grischke EM, Staebler A, Hirides P, Rothmund R| title=Laparoscopic excision of malignant struma ovarii and 1 year follow-up without further treatment. | journal=Fertil Steril | year= 2011 | volume= 95 | issue= 6 | pages= 2124.e9-12 | pmid=21269611 | doi=10.1016/j.fertnstert.2010.12.047 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=21269611  }} </ref><ref name="pmid">{{cite journal |vauthors=Yoo SC, Chang KH, Lyu MO, Chang SJ, Ryu HS, Kim HS |title=Clinical characteristics of struma ovarii |journal=J Gynecol Oncol |volume=19 |issue=2 |pages=135–8 |year=2008 |pmid= |pmc=2676458 |doi=10.3802/jgo.2008.19.2.135 |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid26623411">{{cite journal |vauthors=Park CH, Jung MH, Ji YI |title=Risk factors for malignant transformation of mature cystic teratoma |journal=Obstet Gynecol Sci |volume=58 |issue=6 |pages=475–80 |year=2015 |pmid=26623411 |pmc=4663225 |doi=10.5468/ogs.2015.58.6.475 |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid25640097">{{cite journal |vauthors=Wee JY, Li X, Chern BS, Chua IS |title=Struma ovarii: management and follow-up of a rare ovarian tumour |journal=Singapore Med J |volume=56 |issue=1 |pages=35–9 |year=2015 |pmid=25640097 |pmc=4325564 |doi= |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid24357453">{{cite journal |vauthors=Dujardin MI, Sekhri P, Turnbull LW |title=Struma ovarii: role of imaging? |journal=Insights Imaging |volume=5 |issue=1 |pages=41–51 |year=2014 |pmid=24357453 |pmc=3948908 |doi=10.1007/s13244-013-0303-3 |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid22436494">{{cite journal |vauthors=Mostaghel N, Enzevaei A, Zare K, Fallahian M |title=Struma ovarii associated with Pseudo-Meig's syndrome and high serum level of CA 125; a case report |journal=J Ovarian Res |volume=5 |issue= |pages=10 |year=2012 |pmid=22436494 |pmc=3350392 |doi=10.1186/1757-2215-5-10 |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid26052205">{{cite journal |vauthors=Tanimanidis P, Chatzistamatiou K, Nikolaidou A, Kaplanis K |title=Struma ovarii.

Overview

Struma ovarii is a potentially malignant tumor, that 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 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
Struma ovarii - Variable Reduced/absent flow Abdominal RAIU
Toxic nodular goiter - Multiple nodules - Hot nodules at thyroid scan -
Graves' disease + Hypoechoic pattern Ophthalmopathy, dermopathy, acropachy
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
