“…Reports of ultrasonic findings of ovarian tumors de scribed most representative sonographic patterns of ovarian tumors [1,7,8], Other workers reported com parisons between ultrasonic findings and physical exam ination [3,4], Ultrasonic findings of thecoma and cystic teratoma with a mucinous cystadenoma have also been reported [9,10]. The present report on the sonographic features of an endometrial cyst, dermoid cyst and muci nous cystadenoma arising in the same ovary may be the first such documentation.…”

Sonographicfindings are described in four women with ovarian fibromas. Three of the four women were postmenopausal.Three had only minimal symptoms; the other presented with acute right lower quadrant pain caused by torsion of the tumor. The tumors were large, ranging from 9 to 16 cm in diameter.A distinctive sonographic appearance was found, with a predominantly hypoechoic, solid mass producing striking sound attenuation.

“…In female patients, pelvic masses with highly re-flective surfaces and acoustic shadow are due, in most cases, to calcified uterine ftbroids; 9 a thecoma of the ovary has been described with a similar appearance. 10 Furthermore, any abdominal or pelvic lesion with a peripheral calcified rim, retained sur-gical gauzes, ll or gastric bezoars 12 may have the same sonographic features. In patients who are prone to develop fecalomas, this pathologic condition must be added to the list of possible diagnoses of highly reflective and shad· owing abdominal and/or pelvic masses.…”

Fecal impaction, caused by incomplete evacuation of feces over an extended length of time, may lead to the formation of a fecaloma, a large, firm mass of stool. Sonography is commonly used as the first imaging procedure in patients presenting with abdominal masses. In the five cases cited, fecaloma was suspected by sonography in four cases; confirmation was obtained by rectal examination in three cases and by radiographic studies in two cases. A representative case report is presented of a 74-year-old woman who had a large pelvic mass detected on physical examination. Sonographically, the fecaloma had a highly echogenic surface and a posterior acoustic shadow. Radiographic examination showed a "soap bubble" appearance, suggestive of stool. Thus, fecaloma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with highly reflective and shadowing abdominal and/or pelvic masses.
