| struma ovarii | A rare teratoid tumour of the ovary composed almost entirely of thyroid tissue, with large follicles containing abundant colloid. Occasionally there are symptoms of hyperthyroidism. 5-10% of struma ovarii become malignant, the only absolute criterion for which is the presence of metastasis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| Riedel's struma | A rare fibrous induration of the thyroid gland, with adhesion to adjacent structures, which may cause tracheal compression. Synonym: chronic fibrous thyroiditis, ligneous struma, ligneous thyroiditis, Riedel's disease, Riedel's struma. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Hashimoto's struma | <endocrinology> Inflammation of the thyroid gland without the formation of pus. Noninfectious nonbacterial thyroid inflammation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| struma | <clinical sign, endocrinology> An enlargement of the thyroid gland that is usually visible as a swelling in the anterior portion of the neck. Simple goitre occurs when the thyroid gland is unable to meet the demands of the body (for example iodine deficiency). The thyroid gland compensates by enlarging. Some foods such as cabbage, soybeans, peanuts, peaches, radishes and spinach contain substances that decrease thyroid production. Some medications such as lithium, cobalt and phenylbutazone can also decrease thyroid hormone production. (10 Oct 1997) |
| struma aberrata | Enlargement of a supernumerary thyroid gland. Synonym: struma aberrata. (05 Mar 2000) |
| struma colloides | A form of goiter in which the contents of the follicles increase greatly, causing pressure atrophy of the epithelium so that the gelatinous matter predominates in the tumour. Synonym: struma colloides. (05 Mar 2000) |
| struma lymphomatosa | <endocrinology> Inflammation of the thyroid gland without the formation of pus. Noninfectious nonbacterial thyroid inflammation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| struma maligna | An obsolete term for cancer of the thyroid gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| struma medicamentosa | Goiter due to the use of some therapeutic agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligneous struma | A rare fibrous induration of the thyroid gland, with adhesion to adjacent structures, which may cause tracheal compression. Synonym: chronic fibrous thyroiditis, ligneous struma, ligneous thyroiditis, Riedel's disease, Riedel's struma. (05 Mar 2000) |

| rete ovarii | <physiology> A transient network of cells in the developing ovary; homologous to the rete testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortex ovarii | The layer of the ovarian stroma lying immediately beneath the tunica albuginea, composed of connective tissue cells and fibres, among which are scattered primary and secondary (antral) follicles in various stages of development; the cortex varies in thickness according to the age of the individual, becoming thinner with advancing years. Synonym: cortex ovarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
