Adnexal lesions are one of the most common cause of gynecological complains, including possibility of ectopic pregnancy in reproductive age group. Ultrasound is the first imaging modality used for evaluation of adnexal lesions. On ultrasound large non-adnexal lesions can be confused as adnexal lesions causing a diagnostic dilemma, rendering use of cross-sectional imaging mandatory. We present a case of middle-aged female who was diagnosed with a right adnexal lesion (possibly malignant) on ultrasound, but on further evaluation was found to be suffering from a benign non-adenexal etiology.
