BACKGROUND To evaluate the predictive role of a risk of malignancy index in discriminating between benign and malignant adnexal masses preoperatively. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 408 patients with adnexal masses managed surgically between January 2010 and February 2014 were included. The risk of malignancy indices (RMI) 1, 2, 3 and 4 were calculated using findings for ultrasonography, me...

Introduction. Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) is widely studied for prediction of malignant pelvic masses in Western population. However, little is known regarding its implication in the developing countries. The objective of this study is to determine how accurately the RMI can predict the malignant pelvic masses. Materials and Methods. The study is a retrospective review of patients attending ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of four risk of malignancy indices (RMI) to detect malignant ovarian tumors. METHODS This is a prospective study of 100 women admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Gulhane Military Medicine Academy for surgical exploration of pelvic masses. To diagnose malignant ovarian tumors, the sensitivity, specificity, negat...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the diagnostic performances of ultrasound score (US), CA 125, menopausal status, risk of malignancy index (RMI)-- in differentiating between benign and borderline or malignant ovarian tumors. MATERIAL AND METHOD Women with ovarian masses who were scheduled to have elective surgery at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, BMA Medical College and Vajira Hospital be...

Background: Ovarian tumours are relatively common and account for ~6% of female malignancies. Risk malignancy index is used to categorize patients into high, intermediate low risk groups. Aims: To groups according in preoperative periods correlate the histopathologic nature ovarian tumours. Study design: Descriptive study. Place duration study: Department Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Independe...

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is one of the top three deadliest in women and diagnosing this disease still leaves some challenges to overcome. Therefore, study aimed compare diagnostic accuracy Risk Malignancy Index (RMI) International Tumor Analysis (IOTA) simple rules adnexal masses. Methods: A retrospective was conducted involving 29 patients diagnosed with ovarian tumors. RMI IOTA Simple Rul...

Background/Aim. Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies. Risk of malignancy index (RMI) is recommended in assessment of patients with adnexal masses. The aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of the RMI in the discrimination between benign lesions and malignant adnexal masses in clinical practice. Methods. Ultrasounds were performed for all the pat...
