Abstract

We present a case of bilateral struma ovarii which developed postoperatively and was histopathologically diagnosed after the patient was hospitalized for investigation and treatment of tumoral anexal bilateral formations. There was no evidence of clinical malignancy or metastases. Data from the literature, together with histopathologic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the disease were checked again taking into account the scarcity of this lesion, especially bilaterally.
