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...

Ectopic pregnancy is a major cause of first-trimester death in pregnancy, and standard clinical assessments continue to rely on hormonal assays and pelvic sonography. Although the adnexal or tubal ring sign is a diagnostic feature of ectopic pregnancy on pelvic sonography, it has not been well recognized on computed tomography (CT) due to radiation concerns. However, CT is increasingly being us...

BACKGROUND Lung cancer with ovarian metastasis or adnexal metastasis harboring anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene translocation is rare. Crizotinib, a novel ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has already shown an impressive single-agent activity in ALK positive lung cancer. METHODS To summarize the case of clinical data and treatment of a 33-year-old woman with pelvic adnexal metastasis NSCLC....

In the first case, a 70-year-old woman presenting abdominal pain, asthenia, weight loss and disturbed bowel habit was referred due to finding of right adnexal lesion on CT scan. Transvaginal ultrasound showed solid tumour 42x39x40mm with cystic areas, irregular wall shadowing, colour score 3, unclassifiable by IOTA Simple Rules.In second pelvic incidental mass diagnosed sonography in 68-year-ol...

Whilst the outcomes for patients with ovarian cancer clearly benefit from centralised, comprehensive care in dedicated cancer centres, unfortunately the majority of patients still do not receive appropriate specialist treatment. Any improvement in the accuracy of current triaging and referral pathways whether using new imaging tests or biomarkers would therefore be of value in order to optimise...

BACKGROUND Ovarian tumour in children and adolescent girls form an uncommon but important part of gynaecological malignancies. They account for 1% of all the childhood malignancies and 8% of all abdominal tumours in children. Since the ovarian cysts are thought to arise from mature follicles, these tumours were considered to be infrequent in the paediatric population. AIM The rarity of this c...

the histopathologic diagnosis of orbital and ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative lesions is difficult, resulting controversy in classification, determining benignity or malignancy of them and treatment modality selection. we designed the following study to evaluate clinical, histopathologic and if necessary immunochemical features of them in decreasing indeterminate cases. the study includes 51 ...

The objective of the study was to evaluate the role of ultrasound in diagnosis of adnexal pathologies. The ultrasound findings were correlated with per-operative & histo-pathological findings. The study was prospective and was carried out between March 2014 to August 2014 at the Department of Radiology, P.D.U. Govt. Medical College and Civil Hospital, Rajkot. Abdominal ultrasound & Doppler stud...

A woman with known adnexal transposition for carcinoma of the cervix presented with abdominopelvic pain. The previously known complications of adnexal transposition are discussed and the first description of isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is presented.

the presentation treatment and postoperative progress of two patients with pearly intraspinal eptdermcids is described. in one of the patients the tumour recurred after the first removal. necessitating a second operation. despite serious distur bances of gait both patients improved following surgery. the literature in respect of these tumours. is reviewed
