Abstract

The ultrasonographic findings of 49 ovarian cystadenomas were analized. The results were as follows: 1. Themost common age group was 3rd decade and most patients(83%) belong to active reproductive period. 2. In 80% ofserous cystadenoma the size of the tumor was ranged in 6-10cm in diameter. The large tumors of 16-20 cm indiameter were mostly mucinous cystadenomas. 3. Purely cystic appearance was the most common finding(40%) of serouscystadenoma and thick linear septation with and without solid component was the most common finding (38%) ofmucious cystadenoma. 4. Thick linear septation with solid component was not found inserous cystadenoma. 5. Welldefined nodular projection was found in 3 cases of serous cystadenoma but not identified in mucinous cystadenoma.
