Imaging in gynecological disease (28): clinical and ultrasound characteristics of serous and mucinous cystadenomas in the adnexa.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of serous and mucinous cystadenomas in the adnexa.

Methods

This was a retrospective international multicenter study. Using the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) database, patients with a histological diagnosis of serous or mucinous cystadenoma who had undergone preoperative ultrasound examination between 1999 and 2016 (IOTA studies phase 1, 1b, 2, 3 and 5) were identified. All masses were described using the standardized IOTA terminology. The diagnosis assigned by the original ultrasound examiner based on subjective assessment was recorded. Two reviewers assessed the available digital ultrasound images using pattern recognition to identify typical sonographic features of cystadenomas.
