The Use of International Ovarian Tumor Analysis and Assessment of Adnexal Neoplasia in Differentiating Malignant and Benign Adnexal Masses

The Use of International Ovarian Tumor Analysis and Assessment of Different Neoplasia in the Adnexa Model in Differentiating Malignant and Benign Adnexal Masses

All participants will be subjected to Serum measurements of CA-125 by the immunoradiometric assay, Ultrasound evaluation of the Adnexal masses which is described according to origin (ovarian/extraovarian); position (right/left/bilateral); number of lesions; type of lesions (unilocular/multilocular); size in three dimensions (longitudinal, anteroposterior and transverse diameters); intracystic fluid echogenicity; number of loculations; presence and size of septations (only thickest one of septations is considered); presence, number and size of solid papillary projections (largest thickness is considered); presence and size of the largest solid component (three diameters); presence and measurement of fluid volume in the posterior cul-de-sac and presence and location of lesions suggestive of metastases. Then surgical intervention will be done with pathological examination of the specimen
