“…Women who have hysterectomy for dysfunctional uterine bleeding tend to be younger [28], and have benign ovarian cysts, that might influence the decision for BSO [29]. The most common explanation for anovulation with ovarian cysts is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and it is possible that hysterectomy with BSO was performed more often for PCOS women in some studies.…”

“…The CT features of ovarian cysts have been investigated in several studies in the literature. These features include these lesions’ behavior under contrast administration [ 7 ], and the imaging appearance of several histological entities [ 4 , 8 ]; even diagnostic workups have been developed [ 9 ]. Although correlations between morphological and imaging features of ovarian cystic lesions have also been researched [ 10 ], the radiological characteristics of the fluid content of these lesions remain relatively unexplored.…”

Computer Tomography in the Diagnosis of Ovarian Cysts: The Role of Fluid Attenuation Values

Pathological analysis of ovarian cysts shows specific fluid characteristics that cannot be standardly evaluated on computer tomography (CT) examinations. This study aimed to assess the ovarian cysts’ fluid attenuation values on the native (Np), arterial (Ap), and venous (Vp) contrast phases of seventy patients with ovarian cysts who underwent CT examinations and were retrospectively included in this study. Patients were divided according to their final diagnosis into the benign group (n = 32) and malignant group (n = 38; of which 27 were primary and 11 were secondary lesions). Two radiologists measured the fluid attenuation values on each contrast phase, and the average values were used to discriminate between benign and malignant groups and primary tumors and metastases via univariate, multivariate, multiple regression, and receiver operating characteristics analyses. The Ap densities (p = 0.0002) were independently associated with malignant cysts. Based on the densities measured on all three phases, neoplastic lesions could be diagnosed with 89.47% sensitivity and 62.5% specificity. The Np densities (p = 0.0005) were able to identify metastases with 90.91% sensitivity and 70.37% specificity, while the combined densities of all three phases diagnosed secondary lesions with 72.73% sensitivity and 92.59% specificity. The ovarian cysts’ fluid densities could function as an adjuvant criterion to the classic CT evaluation of ovarian cysts.

Computed Tomography Appearance of Ovarian Cysts With Hyperenhancing Rim During the Menstrual Cycle in Women of Different Ages

Abstract: Cysts with HR, previously proven to represent corpus luteal cysts, can be readily seen on contrast-enhanced CT studies in women of reproductive age. Familiarity of the varied CT appearance of these cysts is essential, lest they be misinterpreted as pathological entities.
