Radiopathological Correlation of Adnexal Lesions: Our experience
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: Adnexal masses are considered one of the most common disorders in gynecology practice. Primary goal of imaging in the evaluation of an adnexal mass is to differentiate malignant and benign lesions in order to direct patients to the appropriate treatment algorithm. Aim: To study the spectrum of diverse nature of adnexal mass lesions. To assess the relative role of USG and MRI in the evaluation of adnexal mass lesions, and compare them with clinical outcome or operative findings wherever possible. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 50 patients who are clinically suspected to have adnexal lesions. USG and MRI using standard protocol are performed in all patients with adnexal lesions and various features of adnexal lesions were noted. Results: Most commonly affected age group was 21-40 yrs. The major presenting complaints were lower abdominal pain and lump in the lower abdomen. In our study, most common origin of adnexal lesions was from ovaries. On USG, 50 % were cystic in consistency, 86 % and 14 % were reported as benign and malignant respectively. On MRI, 56 % were cystic, 88% and 12 % were reported as benign and malignant respectively. Conclusion: The sensitivity of MRI and USG for diagnosing malignancy of adnexal lesions is similar. However, due to better specificity and lower false positivity rate, higher sensitivity in detecting invasion of adjacent organs and organs of origin of lesions, MRI may be considered complimentary for optimal patient management and can be used in the assessment of problematic cases.
