Clinical Features:

A middle-aged married female patient came with right lower abdominal pain.


Ultrasound Features:

- A well-defined cystic area with incomplete septations is noted at the right adnexa.

- Color Doppler shows no abnormal vascularity.


Remember:

Acute severe pain in a case of hydrosalpinx may seek attention to exclude torsion.


Ultrasound Diagnosis:

Right sided hydrosalpinx.

Clinical Features:

A 39-year-old female patient came with lower abdominal pain.


Ultrasound Features:

- A well-defined, thin-walled, unilocular cystic lesion of about 9.1cm X 7.1cm size, casting posterior acoustic enhancement with smooth inner margin, no papillary projection or septation is noted arising from the left adnexa without a separately visualized left ovary. 

- Numerous thin ‘echogenic lines & dots’ are seen within the fluid content forming the ‘dot dash pattern’ indicating the dermoid mesh.

- An echogenic component casting acoustic shadow is also noted within.

- Color Doppler shows no flow within the internal contents.

- No ascites or lymphadenopathy.

- O-RADS US 2, Color Score 1.


Remember:

- An adnexal cyst with internal echogenic components showing sound attenuation or casting acoustic shadows is a dermoid.
- Check for increased vascularity & ascites to exclude malignant transformation.


Ultrasound Diagnosis:

- Left adnexal dermoid cyst.

- O-RADS US 2, Color Score 1.

Clinical Features:

A 17-year-old unmarried female patient came with left lower abdominal pain.


Ultrasound Features:

- A well-defined thin-walled cystic area of less than 5 cm in maximum diameter, having an internal lace-like reticular pattern with posterior acoustic enhancement is noted in the left adnexa with the marginal presence of ovarian tissue.

(O-RADS US 2: Almost certainly benign)

- Color Doppler shows the absence of flow within the internal reticular pattern. Normal flow is seen in the surrounding ovarian tissue. 

(Color score: 1)


Remember:

Using O-RADS or IOTA descriptors & classification systems may help clinicians understand the lesion characteristics & manage the patient accordingly.


Ultrasound Diagnosis:

Ovarian hemorrhagic cyst.

Clinical Features:

A 24 years old female patient came with dysmenorrhea, predominantly pain in the left lower abdomen.


Ultrasound Features:

- A well-defined, round to oval, hypoechoic homogeneous mass with fine low-level internal echoes is noted attached to the left ovary.

- Color Doppler shows no internal vascularity.

- Thickened endometrium.

- Tiny cervical nabothian cyst.


Remember:

In case of transabdominal scan, decrease the gain to make the bladder anechoic. The adjacent simple cyst will become anechoic too but the endometrioma won’t.

Clinical Features:

A 23 years old married female patient came with

- Irregular scanty menstruation

- Subfertility

- Obesity

- Hirsutism


Ultrasound Features:

- Bilateral enlarged ovaries.

- Multiple peripherally placed tiny follicles.

- No dominant follicle.

- Echogenic ovarian stroma.

- Multiple small well-defined round to oval anechoic cystic structures of variable size are seen within the cervical myometrium.


Remember:

- In case of bilateral enlarged ovaries with the absence of dominant follicle, consider PCOD first.
- If the patient is on treatment then the features may vary a little.

Adnexal Cyst

  • Cystic structures may be of ovarian or nonovarian origin.
  • Can be anechoic to complex echogenicity.
  • BIRADS or IOTA classifications may help further exclude malignancy sonographically.
  • Very unusual location of an ovarian cyst in a patient with acute severe lower abdominal pain may seek surgical attention for twisted cyst.
  • Ectopic pregnancy is always considered as a d/d in reproductive age. 


Case 01:

Patient with mild lower abdominal pain shows a right adnexal multiloculated cyst separated from the right ovary






 


Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD)


Clinical Features:

  • Subfertility
  • Irregular scanty menstruation or amenorrhoea
  • Obesity
  • Hirsutism

Ultrasound Findings:

  • Bilateral enlarged ovaries
  • Multiple tiny cystic follicles (>8) at peripheral parts of both ovaries forming 'Pearl-String appearance'
  • Echogenic stroma
  • No dominant follicle
  • Thickened endometrium may be seen

Introduction:

Heterotopic pregnancy means the presence of both intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancy.

Clinical Features:

Reproductive aged female patient came with the history of
1. Amenorrhoea for 2 months followed by per vaginal bleeding with fleshy mass expulsion.
2. Severe lower abdominal pain, more on the left side.

Clinically, the patient was anemic.

Ultrasound Findings:

1. An irregular distorted gestational sac is noted within the uterus with decidual reaction and without any fetal pole.

2. Left tubo-ovarian region shows an irregular small gestational sac, surrounded by an irregular thick wall forming donut sign, without any feta pole inside. Color Doppler shows relatively high resistance pattern of arterial supply (RI: 0.71) around the sac which literally excludes the presence of life inside the sac.

3. Huge pelvic collection is noted.

Features Highly Suggestive Of:

Heterotopic pregnancy including incomplete abortion for the intrauterine one and ruptured ectopic for the extrauterine one.

Scanning was done on the 17.05.18 at 2-3am.
