Objective: To evaluate and compare the surgical management and outcome of the laparoscopic removal of persistent adnexal masses during pregnancy with laparotomy. Study Design: The records of all pregnant women undergoing adnexal surgery were reviewed between January 1995 and June 1999. A total of 58 cases were recorded. Results: A total of 11 cases underwent laparoscopic management of their per...

OBJECTIVE To determine the most discriminating two-dimensional gray-scale and colour Doppler sonographic features that allow differentiation between malignant and benign adnexal masses, and to develop a scoring model that would enable more accurate diagnosis with those features. METHODS A cross sectional prospective study was conducted on patients scheduled for surgery due to presence of adne...

OBJECTIVE To review the literature regarding the role of laparoscopy during pregnancy, particularly adnexal mass and non-obstetric surgery, incorporating the results of a series of 9 cases of laparoscopy during pregnancy at our centers. MATERIALS AND METHODS A Medline search was performed to review the literature, and the reference lists provided by those articles were further explored for ci...

Patient: Female, 16 Final Diagnosis: Pelvic mass Symptoms: None Medication: None Clinical Procedure: CT • MRI Specialty: Diagnostic radiology • pediatrics. OBJECTIVE Unusual presentation of unknown etiology, Rare disease, Mistake in diagnosis. BACKGROUND Müllerian anomalies encompass a wide variet...

OBJECTIVE The true incidence of ovarian tumors in children is unknown. Few studies beyond case reports and case series have been published concerning pediatric ovarian tumors. Herein we review a large number of ovarian tumor cases. METHODS The charts of 203 patients who presented with adnexal masses were reviewed. RESULTS The patient's ranged in age from 2 to 18 years (mean = 15.6 years), w...

Transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasonography performed by a skilled and experienced investigator is currently considered as a highly accurate method in the differential diagnosis of adnexal masses. The authors set out a review based on sonographic images demonstrating the main presentations of adnexal masses, describing their characteristics and locations.

PURPOSE To establish the utility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) entropy in discrimination of benign and malignant adnexal lesions, using histopathology as the reference standard, via comparison of the diagnostic performance of ADC entropy with mean ADC and with visual assessments of adnexal lesions on conventional and diffusion-weighted sequences. MATERIALS AND METHODS In all, 37 adu...

BACKGROUND The discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses is central to decisions regarding clinical management and surgical planning in such patients. PURPOSE OF STUDY To determine if the RMI (RMI 2) can distinguish between benign and malignant adnexal masses. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted of 58 women with an adnexal mass referred to a teaching hospital f...

OBJECTIVE Investigation of initial 51 cases of single port access (SPA) laparoscopic surgery for large adnexal tumors and evaluation of safety and feasibility of the surgical technique. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of the first 51 patients who received SPA laparoscopic surgery for large adnexal tumors greater than 10 cm, from July 2010 to February 2015. RESULTS SP...
