STUDY QUESTION What are the frequency of, and the prognosis for, ovarian malignancies among patients who have undergone laparoscopic surgery for an adnexal mass? SUMMARY ANSWER The rate of unexpected ovarian malignancy resected by laparoscopy was 1.5%, and the presence of an early-stage unexpected ovarian malignancy did not alter patient prognosis. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Even when laparoscop...

Pain in relation to the menstrual cycle is representative of Endometriosis. It has been reported that Endometriosis can be easily confounded with neoplasia. In clinical practice Gynecologic Oncology we find relative frequency patients who are unknown carriers endometriosis present and operated on because they resemble a picture gynecological cancer, predominantly ovary. Endometriomas form part ...

Pelvic ultrasound is commonly used as part of the routine gynecologic exams, resulting in diagnosis of adnexal masses, the majority of which are functional or benign. However, due to the possible complications involving benign adnexal cysts (ie, adnexal torsion, pelvic pain) and the utmost importance of early diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer, the correct ultrasound diagnosis of adnexal...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the CT features of pathologically proven low grade serous carcinoma (LGSC) of the ovary. METHODS Patients with a pathologic diagnosis of LGSC and CT prior to oophorectomy were retrospectively identified. The CT scans in 14 patients were available and were analyzed for an adnexal mass, peritoneal mass and ascites. The adnexal mass was characterized as complex primarily cy...

Objective: Laparoscopic oophoropexy is performed by a minimally invasive technique that can be offered to any age premenopausal women with an appropriate indication. Adnexal torsion is an uncommon but important cause of emergency admission to the gynaecologist. Torsion of the adnexa has traditionally been treated by involved surgical excision of the affected structure, usually via laparotomy, b...

The aim of this review is to increase the understanding of management of adnexal cysts detected antenatally. Advancements in ultrasound technology have aided in the early detection of adnexal cysts. Adnexal cysts are recognized as most often being a consequence of the hormonal milieu associated with pregnancy. Often, these cysts are simple-appearing and measure smaller than four centimeters. Ho...

BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Incidence of ovarian cancer is more common in postmenopausal women. Premenopausal onset is rare and the present study described two cases of ovarian clear cell tumors in young women. CASE PRESENTATION The patients presented with pelvic mass which was confirmed by sonography and laparotomy and final diagnosis was mad...

Introduction/Background Ultrasound-guided biopsy is a reliable and effective technique for obtaining tissue samples. It commonly used different types of tumors, such as breast prostate cancers to accelerate the treatment process. Our aim evaluate indications, adequacy, safety transvaginal ultrasound-guided in women with pelvic lesions suspected gynecologic malignancy. Methodology</...
