Background: Clinicians are commonly tasked to evaluate adnexal masses. Both radiography and serum markers are useful in the counseling of patients regarding management options. Inhibin is one of several tumor markers used in the evaluation of adnexal masses given its known association with sex cord stromal tumors, specifically granulosa cell tumors. Case 1: 68 year old G6P6 Caucasian female who...

A 79-year-old female was referred to our Gynecologic Department presenting with a pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), showing an adnexal mass, later confirmed at the pelvic examination. The patient's routine laboratory tests were normal. A sonographic examination was performed with inconclusive results. Although the ultrasonography excluded the presence of vascularization and malignant deg...

Primary fallopian tube carcinoma is a rare malignancy and is not often diagnosed preoperatively. We present a case of a 67-year-old woman who complained of postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. After a negative hysteroscopy, transvaginal ultrasound showed a well vascularized solid-cystic tumor in the adnexal region separate from the ovary. The presence of an adnexal mass was confirmed by MR imaging....

Abstract Adnexal masses may present as symptomatic lesions or be discovered incidentally during radiological examinations. The questions asked of radiologists are firstly, what is the nature mass and secondly, does it need to removed if so, how? Multidisciplinary discussion plan patient management aim avoid two scenarios simple resection an ovarian cancer major debulking surgery for benign dise...

OBJECTIVES The frequency of adnexal masses in pregnant women ranges from 0.1% to 4%. Selecting the right approach to manage the subsequent intervention remains one of the most controversial challenges among gynecologists. Our aim in this cross-sectional study was to clarify the clinical-pathological differences among the adnexal masses that are excised during either the antepartum period or ces...

Microcystic adnexal carcinoma is a rare type of tumor, with about 300 cases reported globally. Due to its similar histology with other tumors, it is occasionally misdiagnosed as desmoplastic trichoepithelioma, basal cell carcinoma, syringoma, and so on. We present a patient with a mass on the perioral area who was preoperatively diagnosed with trichoepithelioma. Microcystic adnexal carcinoma wa...

A 37-year female presented with complaint of lower abdominal pain and amenorrhoea to the Military Hospital, Rawalpindi. Ultrasound of pelvis showed a right adnexal cystic lesion. On investigation, CA-125 was raised. Her MRI scan of pelvis revealed a right adnexal mass of fluid intensity measuring 15.2 x 12.9 x 9.2 cm. Right ovarian cystectomy was performed and the specimen was sent for histopat...

clear cell adenofibromas of borderline malignancy are extremely rare tumors of the ovaries. they may be associated with ovarian clear cell adenocarcinomas which typically present as large adnexal masses and are generally considered highly malignant. we describe the case of a postmenopausal female with an ovarian mass diagnosed as atypical (borderline) proliferating clear cell adenofibroma. the ...
