PURPOSE To evaluate the sonographic parameters related to morphological characteristics of pelvic adnexal masses by obtaining two-dimensional images by an observer presence, forwarded electronically (via tele-ultrasound) in static and dynamic modes observers do not face (distance) for comparative analyzes inter intraobserver and to the validation of a second opinion. METHODS From March to Aug...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the ADNEX MR scoring system for the prediction of adnexal mass malignancy, using a simplified magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol. METHODS In this prospective study, 200 patients with 237 adnexal masses underwent MRI between February 2014 and February 2016 and were followed until February 2017. Two radiologists calculated ADNEX MR scores using an MRI protoco...

Tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) in hysterectomised patient is uncommon. It has propensity to be overlooked. We report a rare case of missed tubal 46 years old patient. She presented with abdominal pain and adnexal mass on imaging. Diagnosis was only possible intraoperatively owing overlapping symptoms imaging features that ovarian tumor.

OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to describe pregnancy-associated adnexal masses in eastern North Carolina. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study was performed of 60 adnexal masses resected during pregnancy at a regional referral hospital from January 1990 to March 2002. RESULTS Adnexal masses occurred in 0.15% of pregnancies. Average gestational age at diagnosis and surgery was 12 and 20 weeks, resp...

Adnexal masses can be found in 0.19 to 8.8% of all pregnancies. Most masses are functional and asymptomatic and up to 70% resolve spontaneously in the second trimester. The main predictors of persistence are the size (>5 cm) and the imagiological morphocomplexity. Those that persist carry a low risk of malignancy (0 to 10%). Most malignant masses are diagnosed at early stages and more than 50% ...

BACKGROUND Preoperative characterization of complex solid and cystic adnexal masses is crucial for informing patients about possible surgical strategies. Our study aims to determine the usefulness of apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) for characterizing complex solid and cystic adnexal masses. METHODS One-hundred and 91 patients underwent diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) ima...

Background: Adnexal masses can be either a physiological luteal cyst, benign tubo-ovarian mass or malignancy. The signs and symptoms along with tumour markers imaging modalities are considered to differentiate between malignant adnexal mass. in pregnancy asymptomatic present acute abdomen cases of ectopic torsion. aim was study the prevalence various histopathologic types different age groups. ...

OBJECTIVES We compared the indication of laparoscopy for treatment of adnexal masses based on the risk scores and tumor diameters with the indication based on gynecology-oncologists' experience. METHODS This was a prospective study of 174 women who underwent surgery for adnexal tumors (116 laparotomies, 58 laparoscopies). The surgeries begun and completed by laparoscopy, with benign pathologi...

BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is one of the highest mortality cancers in gynaecology. Discrimination of benign masses from malignant ones may sometimes become a challenge for the clinician since there is not a reliable tumour marker, thus some unnecessary, highly morbid operations can be performed. AIMS To explore the efficacy of human epididymis 4 (HE 4) and cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) markers i...
