Oral poster abstracts and 20% (n = 13) an indifferent/mixed growth pattern. None of the malignant tumors displayed the compression pattern. 35% of the 106 benign tumors (n = 37) showed the compression pattern and 59% (n = 63) an indifferent/mixed growth pattern. 5.6% of the benign tumors (n = 6) displayed a retraction pattern. Conclusions: The 3D multiplanar ultrasound analysis of breast lesions, particularly their growth pattern visible in the coronal plane, helps to distinguish between malignant and benign tumors. However, in cases with an indifferent/mixed growth pattern further investigations are necessary.

We have described the sonographic spectrum of findings of ovarian cystadenofibromas. The most frequent appearance was a unilocular cystic mass with gross papillary projections or solid nodules. In almost half of the tumors, vascularization could be detected.

The use of three-dimensional transvaginal sonography does not significantly improve the two-dimensional transvaginal sonographic morphologic assessment of complex adnexal masses; however, we found it useful for reinforcing initial diagnostic impressions.
