Abstract
- Ultrasonography affords an accurate assessment of the presence, size, location and internal consistency of apelvic mass. We present our experience of 105 cases of pelvic masses in female patients by ultrasonography, andthe results are as described; 1. Ultrasonography is nonspecific, however, the possibility of mucinous cystadenomaof ovary, teratoma(dermoid cyst), uterine leiomyoma and trophoblastic disease can be suggested due to theircharacteristic internal consistency. 2. This smooth internal septation seen within mucinous cystadenoma, eccentricsolidmural component of dermoid cyst, enlarged uterine wall with lobulated outer margin of leiomyoma, andyesicular appearance of trophoblastic disease were the specific sonographic features. 3. Loculated ascites and hydronephrosis were identified with malignant ovarian neoplasm and pelvic metastasis. 4. Accurate ultrasonographicdiagnosis was made in 88 cases (83.7%) and it may be improved with clinical history of the mass in question.
