Introduction: Ovarian cancer is the second most common cancer in
gynecology. The most important prognostic factor is the diagnosis of
the cancer in early stages therefore, we tried to evaluate
ultrasonography as a non invasive method in the work up ovarian
masses.
Materials & Methods: The study was retrospective. It involved 100 patients
with ovarian mass that had an abdominal ultrasonography 1 week
before surgery in that center. All of 100 patients had laparoscopy.
After the procedure, we compared pathology and sonography
reports.
Results: Age of patient's ranged from 12-78 years. sonographic
findings in benign tumors included, 80% benign, 14% malignant, 4%
normal and 2% suspicious. There fore, the sensitivity of this method
in benign tumors is 92%, specificity is 80% and accuracy is 0.85.
Sonographic findings in malignant tumors included, 73% benign,
63.4% malignant, 2.4% normal, and 26.8% suspicious.
Consequently, the sensitivity of abdominal sonography in malignant
tumors is 63%, specificity is 80% and accuracy is 0.7.
Conclusion: Abdominal ultrasonography is very sensitive and specific in
benign tumors. It also has good specificity and accuracy in
malignant tumors as a result it can used as the first step in
management of ovarian masses. |
