I have read with interest the paper titled “Case report of ovarian torsion mimicking ovarian cancer as an uncommon late complication of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy” written by Ciebiera et al. and published in “Menopause Review” in 2016; 15: 223-226. The authors described what they call an unusual presentation of an adnexal +10 cm large mass with adnexal torsion in a 46-year-old woma...

Background: Some studies have reported a correlation between adnexal tumors and human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. We performed this study to determine the incidence of HPV infection in adnexal tumor samples to further clarify any potential link between HPV and the pathogenesis of adnexal tumors.Methods: A total of 65 formalin-fixed, paraff...

BACKGROUND Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare tumour of the female genital tract with an incidence of 0.1-1.8% of all genital malignancies, and it is very difficult to diagnose preoperatively, because of its non-specific symptomatology. In most cases, it is an intraoperative finding or a histopathological diagnosis. It is a tumour that histologically and clinically resembles epit...

Pelvic ultrasonography (US) remains the imaging modality most frequently used to detect and characterize adnexal masses. Although evaluation is often aimed at distinguishing benign from malignant masses, the majority of adnexal masses are benign. About 90% of adnexal masses can be adequately characterized with US alone. In this article, the important US features that should allow one to make 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...

BACKGROUND Abdominal pain is one of the most common presentations of adnexal pathology in gynecology. Early diagnosis and intervention is essential especially in adolescent girls and reproductive age group women to conserve reproductive function. AIM The purpose of the following study is to assess the clinicopathologic outcome of women with adnexal masses presenting with acute pain. SUBJECT...

This white paper describes adnexal (ovarian and paraovarian) incidental findings found on CT and MRI in nonpregnant postmenarchal patients in whom no adnexal disorder is clinically known or suspected. This represents the first of 4 such papers from the ACR Incidental Findings Committee II, which used a consensus method based on repeated reviews and revisions and a collective review and interpre...

Our objective is to analyse the impact of pandemic on diagnosis and treatment adnexal tumours support available women living with disease. We retrospectively analysed pre post COVID-19 medical records those patients submitted for tumour suspicious malignancy or benign prior surgery. Diagnosis algorithms did not change compared previous ones. The explorations were performed by same IOTA certifie...

We investigated the organization of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) and the T cell receptor beta chain (T$) gene loci in 20 ocular adnexal and four extraocular lymphoid neoplasms obtained from 1 8 patients presenting with an ocular adnexal lymphoid neoplasm. Fifteen ocular adnexal and four extraocular lymphoid neoplasms occurring in 1 3 patients were classified by morphological examination...

OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy of subjective sonographic assessment in distinguishing between benign and malignant adnexal masses. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional descriptive study. METHODS The patients scheduled for elective surgery due to adnexal masses were recruited into the study. All patients were sonographically examined within 72 hours of surgery were subjectively evaluated by the...
