[[File:Struma_ovarii_-_Scintigraphy.jpg|thumb|none|450px| (a) Whole-body I-123 imaging shows significantly increased I-123 uptake within the left hemi-pelvis in a 61-year-old woman with a history of thyrotoxicosis treated with radioiodine treatment twice over the last 30 years, who ultimately had a thyroidectomy which showed Graves disease but who remained thyrotoxic post surgery.

Overview

Scintigraphy may be helpful in the confirmation of diagnosis of struma ovarii.

Other Imaging Findings

  • Scintigraphy may be helpful in the confirmation of diagnosis of struma ovarii. Scintigraphy scan done with iodine-123 or iodine-131 may be helpful in diagnosing a hyperfunctioning struma ovarii by evaluating the increased uptake of the radionuclide by the ovarian mass when compared to the thyroid gland.
