Q

What does the size of a pelvic cyst determine? What are the results of each of the sizes of cyst measuring <3cm, 3-5cm, >5cm, and >10cm?

A
  • < 3 cm - usually resolve (follicular)
  • 3 - 5 cm - followed by US; most resolve, but some enlarge
  • > 5 cm - followed by US; 60% resolve in 3 months
  • > 10 cm - rarely resolve (have more malignant potential; are surgically removed)

19
Q

True or False: it is difficult to determine if Paraovarian Cysts are ovarian or paraovarian

A

True

20
Q

What is the largest that a paraovarian cyst can reach in cm?

A

15cm

21
Q

Are paraovarian cyst permanent?

A

Yes, they do not regress or change with time

22
Q

What are differential Diagnoses of Paraovarian Cyst?

A

Serous cystadenoma or Endometrioma

23
Q

What is Ovarian Torsion?

A

Complete or incomplete rotation of ovary on its vascular pedicle

24
Q

Ovarian Torsion causes what?

A

Causes arterial, venous, or lymphatic occlusion

25
Q

Ultrasound Appearance of Ovarian Torsion

A

On ultrasound, may appear as a large ovary with hypoechoic and hyperechoic areas

26
Q

Ovarian Torsion occurs most commonly in what age group?

A

Most common in childhood or women < 30 years of age

27
Q

Signs and symptoms of Ovarian Torsion?

A
  • Acute onset of pelvic pain
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
28
Q

In Polycystic Ovaries, endocrine disorders result in?

A

High free serum testosterone

High LH or FSH

29
Q

Ultrasound Appearance of Polycystic Ovaries

A
  • Normal ovaries

- Bilaterally enlarged ovaries with multiple small follicles around periphery

30
Q

What are the categories of benign Ovarian Neoplasms?

A

Epithelial tumors
Germ cell tumors
Stromal tumors

31
Q

What percentage of Ovarian Neoplasms are benign?

A

80%

32
Q

What are the 3 types of Epithelial neoplasms?

A
  • Serous cystadenoma
  • Mucinous cystadenoma
  • Brenner tumor
33
Q

Epithelial Neoplasms: Serous Cystadenoma

A
  • More common than mucinous cystadenoma (not as large)
  • Contain serous fluid
  • Bilateral 25% of time
  • Usually unilocular
  • May have septations (thin) and papillary projections
  • Malignant counterpart: serous cystadenocarcinoma
34
Q

Epithelial Neoplasms: Mucinous Cystadenoma

A

-Larger than serous cystadenoma (up to 15-30 cm)
-Filled with thick mucin
-Bilateral in < 5% of cases
-Cystic with multiple thicker septations
Debris filled
-With rupture—Pseudomyxoma Peritonei

35
Q

Epithelial Neoplasms: Brenners Tumor

A
  • Not common (1 - 2% of all ovarian neoplasms)
  • Solid firm tumor
  • On US, may see solid echogenic or hypoechoic mass with anechoic spaces
  • Small to 8 cm in size
  • Most common in post menopausal patient
  • US unable to differentiate between other solid ovarian tumors
36
Q

Benign Cystic Teratoma

A

AKA: dermoid cyst, teratoma

  • Common germ cell tumors
  • Most common in premenopausal women
  • Most common ovarian tumor for women less than 20 years of age
  • Have little malignant potential
37
Q

Ultrasound appearance of Benign Cystic Teratoma

A
  • Complex with internal echoes and posterior acoustic shadowing
  • Tip of the iceberg sign
  • Unilocular or multilocular cyst with internal echoes or mural echogenic projections
  • Echogenic mass with acoustic shadowing
  • Fat/fluid or hair/fluid level
  • Echo poor mass with echogenic or echo poor central portion
38
Q

What are the kinds of Stromal Tumors?

A

Fibroma
Thecoma
Sertoli-leydig

39
Q

Stromal Tumors: Fibroma

A

5 % of ovarian tumors
More common in 50’ s or 60 ‘s
90% unilateral
5-16 cm in size
Solid and hypoechoic - often shadow posteriorly
The most common tumor associated with Meigs’ syndrome

40
Q

Stromal Tumors: Fibroma: Meig’s Syndrome

A

TRIAD OF MEIGS’ SYNDROME

  • Benign ovarian tumor (fibroma)
  • Ascites
  • Pleural effusion
  • SYMPTOMS SUBSIDE AFTER TUMOR REMOVAL
41
Q

Stromal Tumors: Thecoma (Theca Cell Tumor)

A

1 - 2 % OF OVARIAN TUMORS
SOLID
ESTROGEN PRODUCING
MOST COMMON IN POST MENOPAUSAL PATIENTS WITH ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING
MAY BE LARGE (UP TO 30 CM)
UNILATERAL
HYPOECHOIC AND MAY CAST LARGE SHADOW POSTERIORLY

42
Q

Stromal Tumors: Sertoli-Leidig Cell tumor

A
  • Rare
  • Less than .5% of ovarian tumors
  • Most occur in patient < 30 years
  • Secrete androgens
43
Q

Signs and symptoms of Sertoli-Leidig Cell Tumors

A

Pain
Abdominal swelling

44
Q

Ultrasound Appearance of Sertoli-Leidic Cell Tumors
