Ultrasound-guided biopsy is an easy technique for obtaining tissue samples. It commonly used different types of tumors, such as breast and prostate cancers, in order to plan early adequate treatment.To evaluate the indications, adequacy, safety transvaginal ultrasound-guided women with pelvic lesions suspected gynecologic malignancy.A retrospective study including all patients who had undergone between April 2015 May 2018 was carried out at division oncology. Inclusion criteria were presence...
To describe clinical history and ultrasound findings in patients with tubal carcinoma.Patients a histological diagnosis of cancer who had undergone preoperative examination were identified from the databases 13 centers. The tumors described by principal investigator at each contributing center on basis images, reports research protocols (when applicable) using terms definitions International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) group. In addition, three authors reviewed together all available...
ABSTRACT Objective To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of serous cystadenofibromas in adnexa. Methods This was a retrospective study patients identified International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) database, who had histological diagnosis cystadenofibroma undergone preoperative examination by an experienced examiner, between 1999 2012. In IOTA which contains data collected prospectively, tumors were described using terms definitions group. addition, three authors reviewed,...
ABSTRACT Sex Cord Stromal Tumors are rare ovarian tumors, including Steroid Cell NOS, almost all benign, associated with hirsutism and virilization, elevated serum testosterone levels, commonly unilateral small diameter compared to others. A 43‐year‐old woman was referred our center secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, balding clitoromegaly, high level of free testosterone. Ultrasound examination showed a solid rounded hypoechoic lesion, regular margins, moderately richly vascularized at power...
ABSTRACT Objective To elucidate the ultrasound features that can discriminate between benign and malignant ovarian cysts with papillary projections but no other solid component in pregnant women. Methods Thirty‐four women an diagnosis of cyst had been removed surgically during pregnancy were identified from databases four units. Some clinical information was collected prospectively. Missing obtained retrospectively images, reports patient records. Using prospectively data, appearance tumors...
Unilocular-solid ovarian cysts are a rare but challenging pathology in young women, with desire to spare their fertility. In these cases, the risks of borderline and invasive disease around 10 20%, respectively. No ultrasound rule has yet demonstrated ability discriminate high accuracy, tumor from benign or 'invasive tumor'. The aim this study was assess predictive performance different parameters differentiating tumors versus malignant premenopausal patients unilocular-solid masses.Women...
Chemoradiation-based neoadjuvant treatment followed by radical surgery is an alternative therapeutic strategy for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), but ultrasound variables used to predict partial response are not well defined. Our goal was analyze prospectively the potential role of transvaginal in early prediction pathological response, assessed terms residual disease at histology, a large, single-institution series LACC patients triaged surgery.Between October 2010 and June 2014,...
Objective The number of women diagnosed with ovarian masses during pregnancy has increased in recent years and the management these can be controversial. We aim to describe ultrasound characteristics clinical outcomes patients malignant pregnancy. Methods Patients a histological diagnosis mass detected who underwent pre-operative by experienced examiners between December 2000 November 2017 were included this retrospective observational study. Ultrasound described using International Ovarian...
Objective: Providing a systematic review of type 2 cervical dysgenesis (CD) by taking into consideration an interesting and rare case genital anomaly which was treated with the use laparoscopic ultrasound guidance. Materials Methods: A research MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web Sciences, Scopus, ClinicalTrial.gov, OVID Cochrane Library done. We analysed all types study including reports. identified articles published at time we began our up from inception to July 2019. Results: Three hundred thirty-four...
To describe Ultrasound (US) characteristics of three cases decidualised ectopic implants endometriosis during pregnancy. Between 2014 and 2017 we collected pregnant patients in which the presence hypoechoic peritoneal tissue addition to endometriomas was described on US. Those were followed up after pregnancy with MRI performed all cases. The age 29, 33 years respectively. diagnosis made at 16th, 15th 14th weeks gestation first patient had a spontaneous delivery 40th weeks, second incurred...
To assess whether clinical ultrasound molecular imaging (USMI) using a novel grade human kinase domain receptor (KDR)-targeted microbubble (BR55, Bracco) is safe and allows assessment of KDR expression in ovarian lesions, immunohistochemistry (IHC) as gold standard. From trial, including prospectively 20 women with focal breast lesion 24 lesion, we analysed data postmenopausal an mass solid component. BR55 (0.03-0.08 mL/kg bw) was injected IV 2D USMI the target lesions performed dynamically...
To describe the clinical history and ultrasound findings in patients with tubal carcinoma. Patients a histological diagnosis of cancer who had undergone preoperative examination were identified. The tumors described using terms definitions IOTA group. In addition, two authors together reviewed all available images them subjective evaluation. Of 79 identified, 70 (89%) serous carcinomas. 49 (62%) asymptomatic. 53 (67%) solid at examination, 14 (18%) multilocular-solid, 10 (13%)...
A 55-year-old woman was referred to our center, after diagnosis of germline BRCA2 mutation, for risk reducing laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy. In 2003, she underwent laparotomic Piver III radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy International Federationof Gynecology Obstetrics (
To verify the accuracy of ultrasound morphometry (USM) combined with fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in prediction groin lymph node status to modulate surgery minimally invasive or radical procedures. From February 2011 March 2016 all patients affected by vulvar cancer (IVC) referred our division were prospectively studied a preoperative USM inguino-femoral nodes (IFLN). The FNAC was performed case suspicious nodes, if at least one following criteria relieved: globular shape,...
To elucidate if there are any ultrasound features that can be used to discriminate between benign and malignant cysts with papillary projections but no other solid components in pregnant women. Thirty-four women an diagnosis of ovarian cyst had been surgically removed during pregnancy were identified from the databases four units. Some clinical information collected prospectively. Missing was obtained retrospectively images, reports patient records. Using prospectively data, appearance...
To describe the gray scale and color Doppler findings of ovarian cystoadenofibromas (CAFs) to define ultrasound (US) appearance based on pattern recognition. Patients with an histological diagnosis CAFs ovary, who had undergone preoperative transvaginal US examination between 2000 2013, were retrospectively identified from database our center. The tumors characterized using terms definitions International Ovarian Tumor Analysis group. In addition, we reviewed all images described them A...
