Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of colour Doppler USG and b-mode preoperatively in detection ovarian malignancy using histopathological diagnosis as gold standard Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Fauji Foundation hospital Rawalpindi from June, 2017 to Jan, 2020 after seeking ethical approval committee A total 96 female patients having adnexal masses on ultrasound wer...

Ovarian cancer is a morphologically and biologically heterogeneous disease. The identification of type-specific protein markers for ovarian cancer would provide the basis for more tailored treatments, as well as clues for understanding the molecular mechanisms governing cancer progression. In the present study, we used a novel approach to classify 24 ovarian cancer tissue samples based on the p...

Metastatic neoplasms to the ovary often cause diagnostic problems, in particular those large ovarian masses mimicking primary tumors. Most of these tumors arise from digestive system or breast, while 37-year-old woman diagnosed as right adnexal complex mass, with a subpleural nodule in the apical part of the left lower lobe, at preoperative chest computed tomography scan. The patient underwent ...

We describe here a female patient who presented with a breast mass and giant abdominal mass. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the breast mass and histological examination after modified radical mastectomy confirmed metaplastic carcinoma of the breast. The epithelial components were formed by infiltrating ductal carcinoma with poor differentiation, and the sarcomatous components were formed by...

background: cervical cancer is the second most common malignancy in women worldwide. vaginal bleeding and vaginal discharge are the most common symptoms. although ascites has been reported in cases with cervical cancer, it is due to other causes such as ovarian metastasis. case presentation: a 78-year-old diabetic woman who presented with ascites and abdominopelvic mass was misdiagnosed with ov...

Differentiating ovarian tumors based on developmental pathway may further enhance our understanding of the disease. Traditionally, ovarian cancers were thought to arise from the ovarian surface epithelium; however, recent evidence suggests that some tumors originate in the fallopian tube. We classified cases in a population-based case-control study (New England Case-Control [NECC] Study) and tw...

Although genitourinary tuberculosis is common, reports of isolated ovarian tuberculosis are rare. However, its presentation can mimick that of an ovarian tumour, leading to diagnostic difficulties. A woman of 17 years presented with chronic pelvic pain, weight loss, a right ovarian mass on ultrasound, and a significantly elevated CA-125 level. A diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma was made, and lapa...

Introduction ▼ Transabdominal ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice in the evaluation of girls with pathologic ovarian conditions such as ovarian masses, ovarian torsion or hemorrhagic ovarian cysts. The shape of the ovaries and their structure, size and blood flow can be determined by ultrasound. Before puberty, the ovaries have a volume of about 1 ml and contain small, non-stimulated f...
