| As a primary imaging modality for evaluation of an ovarian mass, ultrasound (US)
can provide us with various diagnostic information. Using a pattern recognition
approach through gray-scale transvaginal US, diagnosis of an ovarian mass can be
made with high specificity and sensitivity and Doppler US may increase the confidence
with which a correct diagnosis of benignity or malignancy is made. Although a
hemorrhagic corpus luteal cyst, endometrioma, or mature teratoma can be readily
characterized on the basis of typical sonographic findings, specific diagnosis of other
ovarian masses is difficult based on US alone. In such cases, categorization as a
unilocular, unilocular solid, multilocular, multilocular solid, or solid mass and assessment
of the solid component in the mass is important for discrimination between
benign and malignant masses. |
