“…CCC occurs more frequently in Japan than in Western countries (16). The most common histology in Japan was SAC (40.7%) followed by CCC (27.6%) and EAC (18.3%), as in previous reports in Taiwan and Italy (46)(47)(48)(49). CCC are more common in Japan, possibly with fewer SAC.…”

“…Women with endometriosis were at increased risk for developing CCC followed by EAC. Although some endometriosis lesions may predispose to CCC and EAC, both of these cancers differ from the other histological types with respect to their clinical characteristics and carcinogenesis (32,33,49). Endometriosis is a complex genetic trait which affects up to 10% of women in their reproductive years (51).…”

“…3). The presence of typical sonographic features for ovarian malignant lesions suggests that benign endometrioid cysts and malignant and borderline tumours arising from endometriosis might be easier to assess by an expert ultrasound examiner compared with normal ovarian masses [9]. This is not the case with ovarian cysts found during pregnancy, were differentiation between borderline tumours and decidualised endometriotic cysts can be more difficult.…”

Endometriosis affects between 5 and 45% of women in reproductive age, is associated with significant morbidity, and constitutes a major public health concern. The correct diagnosis is fundamental in defining the best treatment strategy for endometriosis. Therefore, non-invasive methods are required to obtain accurate diagnoses of the location and extent of endometriotic lesions. Transvaginal sonography and magnetic resonance imaging are used most frequently to identify and characterise lesions in endometriosis. Subjective impression by an experienced sonologist for identifying endometriomas by ultrasound showed a high accuracy. Adhesions can be evaluated by real-time dynamic transvaginal sonography, using the sliding sign technique, to determine whether the uterus and ovaries glide freely over the posterior and anterior organs and tissues. Diagnosis is difficult when ovarian endometriomas are absent and endometriosis causes adhesions and deep infiltrating nodules in the pelvic organs. Magnetic resonance imaging seems to be useful in diagnosing all locations of endometriosis, and its diagnostic accuracy is similar to those obtained using ultrasound. Transvaginal ultrasound has been proposed as first line-line imaging technique because it is well accepted and widely available. The main limitation of ultrasound concerns lesions located above the rectosigmoid junction owing to the limited field-of-view of the transvaginal approach and low accuracy in detecting upper bowel lesions by transabdominal ultrasound. A detailed non-invasive diagnosis of the extension in the pelvis of endometriosis can facilitate the choice of a safe and adequate surgical or medical treatment

“…Although about 1% of endometriomas can undergo malignant transformation, most associated malignancies occur in women older than 45 years with an endometrioma larger than 9 cm. Rapid growth or development of a solid component should raise concern [16].…”

Management of women with a pelvic mass is a very common scenario for gynecologists. Often these are benign masses that can either be observed or managed with straightforward laparoscopic surgery, but complex, potentially malignant masses require careful consideration and triaging for appropriate care. This article aims to outline the presentation, management, and triage guidelines for women presenting with an ovarian cyst or pelvic mass. We discuss data surrounding the use of triage guidelines, as well as the role of promising biomarkers that can assist in better predicting benign versus malignant pathology.
