I-48: Approach to Adnexal Masses
author
Abstract:
Most ovarian masses are benign conditions such as non neaplastic cystic, but on the other hand , ovarian cancer, is the third most common gynecological malignancy which has the highest mortality rate , as a result of late diagnosis. As there are few clinical symptoms, most patients at the Abstracts of the 12th Royan International Congress on Reproductive Biomedicine 2 3 International Journal of Fertility & Sterility (IJFS), Vol 5, Suppl 1, Summer 2011 time of diagnosis have advanced disease (stage III or IV) with overall survival rate 20-30%, but if it is possible to detect the disease in early stages , this rate rises to 80% in stage 1. Therefore, efforts should be directed at developing methods of early diagnosis. In this field, image characterizations by US, CT and MRI have quite great help and classically is based on morphology vascularity and tissue characterizations. In this session, we would define the specific image characterizations of adnexal masses.

A practical approach to the ultrasound characterization of adnexal masses.
Because pelvic ultrasound is commonly used to evaluate adnexal masses, it is important to understand the most useful sonographic features for predicting benign and malignant masses. Determining whether an adnexal mass is of ovarian or extraovarian origin is key in arriving at the most likely diagnosis. Most adnexal masses are benign, and each of the most common benign ovarian lesions has a typi...

Adnexal masses are spectrum of diseases from benign non neoplastic and neoplastic masses to malignant neoplasms. Endovaginal ultrasonography (US) is the fisrt and invaluable modality for assessment of adnexal masses because it is available and has a high negative predictive value. Important morphologic features are solid (vascularized) tissue, vascular and thick septations, and papillary projec...

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...

Ultrasound (US) is the primary imaging study of most women with pelvic symptoms and signs that suggest a gynaecological cause, and for the majority it defines the site and nature of any pelvic mass. The key clinical questions are (a) is there a mass and is it uterine or ovarian; (b) is it likely to account for the clinical presentation; (c) does it need removing and (d) if so, by simple resecti...
full textEndoscopic Management of Adnexal Masses
BACKGROUND The laparoscopic management of suspicious adnexal masses and early ovarian malignancies is discussed with the aim of maintaining accepted oncologic treatment principles. Comparative survival data of patients with gynecological malignancies managed by laparoscopy or laparotomy are still very scarce and the survival of cancer patients must not be compromised by new techniques. It is ti...
