OBJECTIVE Patient characteristics, CA125 level and two-dimensional (2D) ultrasonography can be used to predict the probability of malignancy of an ovarian mass. Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography might also contribute to the prediction of malignancy. We evaluated whether addition of 3D features to a diagnostic model could improve the discriminative capacity of the model. METHODS This mult...

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....

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment decisions made in children and adolescents with an adnexal mass. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study among patients younger than age 18 years who were diagnosed with or treated for an adnexal mass at the Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, the Netherlands, between January 1999 and October 2013.

The identification of a pelvic mass during pregnancy can often change a time of happiness and exciting anticipation to 1 of anxiety and fearful unknown. Although diagnosed more commonly with the implementation of ultrasonography as part of routine prenatal care, discovering an adnexal mass during pregnancy remains a rare event. Fortunately, the majority of masses are benign and rarely negativel...

With increased use of ultrasound in early pregnancy, detection of adnexal masses in pregnancy has become more common. Adnexal masses in pregnancy have a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics. Therefore, it is important that the obstetrician be skilled in the diagnosis and management of adnexal masses in pregnancy. Common adnexal lesions seen in pregnancy include s...

INTRODUCTION Adnexal torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain during pregnancy. The clinical and laboratory findings are non-specific. In this paper we present a case of adnexal torsion in the first trimester of pregnancy. CASE OUTLINE On admission, the patient presented signs of acute abdomen.The pain started few hours prior to admission, and was predominantly localized, occasionally ...

In this case report, a rare case of an adnexal torsion caused by hyperreactio luteinalis (HL) in the third trimester is described, since adnexal torsions are mainly restricted to the first trimester of pregnancy. In an emergency Cesarean section, the patient gave birth to a healthy female baby weighing 3,300 g and we found an enlarged benign multiple luteinized follicular cyst mass in the right...
