Overview

Struma ovarii, the tumor was first described in 1889 by Boettlin. 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 the presence of thyroid follicular tissue in ovaries and was the first to describe the tumor. [1]
  • In 1895, Von Klden and Gottschalk in 1899 described Struma ovarii as the most common type of monodermal teratoma. [2]
