Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Aims and Objective: To determine the ultrasound and computed tomographic characteristics of various adnexal masses. To study about the nature and location of the Adnexal mass and correlate with histological evaluation. Materials and Methods: It was hospital based, observational, descriptive and cross sectional study with a sample of 50 patients during the period of 2years in the Department of Radiodiagnosis, VIMSAR, Burla. The patients were referred from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, VIMSAR, Burla. The referred cases were having clinical features of abdominal pain, abdominal lump, menstrual irregularity, ascites and anorexia or weight loss and suspected cases of adnexal masses Pregnant patients and those for follow up were excluded. The patients were subjected to ultrasound and CT. Results: Out of total 50 cases, 14 were malignant and 36 were benign. Conclusion: The fact on observation was that most of the adnexal masses were benign. The benign masses were maximum in the age group below 30 years while malignant masses were merely found in women ≥ 50 years-most common was malignant ovarian tumor. Both USG AND CT were highly sensitive and specific and often complementary in nature.USG accurately diagnosed the adnexal masses while CT is the state of art imaging modality to determine the origin and characterization of its content.
