Abstract
Transvaginal ultrasound is commonly used as a part of routine Gynecological examination, resulting in diagnosis of adnexeal masses, the majority of which are functional or benign lesions. Due to the possible complications involving benign adnexeal cysts (I.e adnexeal torsion, pelvic pain or ruptue cyst)and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer, the correct ultrasound diagnosis of adnexeal masses is essential in clinical practice. This lecture will describe the typical ultrasound appearance of common physiologic,benign,and malignant adnexeal masses with the aim of aiding the clinician to reach the correct diagnosis.
