Sonographic Discrimination Between Benign and Malignant Adnexal Masses in Premenopause

Abstract: Expert pattern recognition was found to be the method with the highest discriminative power in assessing an adnexal mass during premenopause. Additional assessment of serum CA 125 diminished the diagnostic accuracy. Standardized morphological sonographic assessment resulted in a moderate diagnostic accuracy. Supplementing the morphological sonographic assessment with CA 125 by using the RMI algorithm did not improve the diagnostic value.

“…Birçok çalışmada da sınır değerin 200 olması adneksiyal kitlenin benign malign ayırımında iyi bir duyarlılık ve özgüllüğe sahip olduğunu göstermiştir 3,11,12,[13][14][15][16][17] . Bu duyarlılık özellikle de postmenopozal hastalarda daha da belirgindir çünkü premenopozal dönemde endometriozis gibi birtakım klinik durumlar da skorun yüksek çıkmasına neden olabilir 18,19 . Bununla birlikte güncel kanıtlar optimal bir sınır değerinin belirlenmesinin zor olacağını göstermektedir 20 .…”

“…Several sonographic morphology scores, or SMS systems, have been developed for distinguishing benign from malignant conditions [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. The characters comprised into the scoring systems were inner wall structure, wall thickness, septal wall thickness, echogenicity, volume and shadow.…”

“…The tumor volume was calculated by the machine after measuring the anteroposterior, transverse and longitudinal diameter. The pictures were then recorded in a computer and the five systems (Sassone, DePriest, Lerner, Vera and Kawai and Valentin) [6,7,8,9,10] were applied later to each patient by the first author (the 3rd-year obstetrics and gynecology resident) who did not know the patient's clinical data. The Sassone system consisted of four parameters: inner wall structure, wall thickness, septum and echogenicity, while the DePriest system used only three criteria such as volume, cyst wall and septal structure.…”
