Struma ovarii screening

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for Struma ovarii. However, in cases of metastatic struma ovarii post total thyroidectomy along with radioiodine scanning and radioiodine ablation, the thyroglobulin levels must be monitored as a tumor marker, and diagnostic radioiodine scans should be done to screen for residual or recurrent disease.

• There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for Struma ovarii.
• For follow-up as a marker of recurrence, serum thyroglobulin levels and I-131 scan may be used. ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• The I-131 scan or thyroglobulin have no aid in the follow-up if thyroidectomy is not performed. ^[4]
