objective: to evaluate the adnexal masses with conventional gray scale and color doppler flow imaging and to assess their diagnostic reliability to differentiate benign and malignant adnexal masses. materials and methods: we evaluated 30 patients with adnexal mass. morphological characterization of the mass was done using sassone score. color doppler parameters noted down in each patient and ca...

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...

Adnexal masses represent a spectrum of conditions from gynecologic and nongynecologic sources. They may be benign or malignant. The initial detection and evaluation of an adnexal mass requires a high index of suspicion, a thorough history and physical examination, and careful attention to subtle historical clues. Timely, appropriate laboratory and radiographic studies are required. The most com...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the increased value of using coronal reformation of a transverse computed tomography (CT) scan for detecting adnexal torsion. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 106 woman suspected of having adnexal torsion who underwent CT with coronal reformations and subsequent surgical exploration. Two readers independently recorded the CT findings, such as the thickening of a...

With the advent of routine obstetrical ultrasound, the diagnosis of an adnexal mass in pregnancy has become increasingly common. Although the reported incidence and expected clinical course varies based on the gestational age at the time of diagnosis and the criteria used to define an adnexal mass, the majority of adnexal masses diagnosed in pregnancy are benign and are likely to resolve withou...

abstract: introduction: the prevalence of adnexal tumour has been reported to vary between one in eight thousands to 2.3% of pregnancies according to investigational techniques administered. broader use of ultrasonography in pregnancy and the increasing rate of caesarean section (c-section) could be expected to lead to the diagnosis of more adnexal tumours compared to previous studies. aim and ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) on a 16-row CT scanner in the detection and differentiation of adnexal masses. METHODS We prospectively examined 102 consecutive women with clinically or sonographically detected adnexal masses. Preoperative CT examination was performed, including scanning of the abdomen during the portal p...

background and objectives: the diagnosis of pregnancy associated adnexal masses is rising due to routine utilization of sonography in prenatal care. the purpose of this study was to describe pregnancy associated adnexal masses over a period of 10 years. patients and methods: a retrospective study was reviewed hospital records of all pregnant women with adnexal mass that underwent surgical resec...
