benign from malignant ovarian masses

an adjunct to morphologic assessment of
ovarian lesions.

Morphologic scoring by TVS.
Each of four parameters as assessed
Malignancies tended to have high scores (over 9).

Simple ultrasound rules: 2012
5 ultrasonic features to predict a malignant tumour
(M features):
Irregular solid tumour (M1),
Ascites (M2),
At least four papillary structures (M3),
Irregular multilocular solid tumour with a largest
diameter of at least 100 mm (M4)
Very high colour content on colour Doppler
examination (M5).
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
5 ultrasonic features to predict a benign tumour (B
features):
Unilocular cyst (B1),
Presence of solid components for which the largest
solid component is <7 mm in largest diameter (B2)
Acoustic shadows (B3)
Smooth multilocular tumour (B4)
No detectable blood flow on Doppler examination
(B5).

Purely cystic:
more likely to be benign
Complex cyst :
more likely to be malignant.
Purely solid:
more likely to be benign.

Two days later, the ovary (arrow) has
enlarged secondary to retorsion. On
TAS, enlarged size of ovary relative to
uterus can be better appreciated.ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
SUMMARY
Although the sonographic features of a pelvic mass
may not allow a specific diagnosis, clinically useful
information can usually be obtained.
TVS is a useful adjunct to TAS because it adds specificity in determining intraversus extraovarianmasses and endometrial and myometrial disorders. TVS affords an accurate means for evaluation of the
ovaries and is particularly useful in obese,
postmenopausal women in whom the incidence of
ovarian carcinoma is especially high.
Although not always specific, sonographic assessment
of tumor morphology can lead to accurate diagnoses.
