Imaging in gynecological disease (8): ultrasound characteristics of recurrent borderline ovarian tumors

Abstract

Objectives To describe the sonographic characteristics of borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) recurrence. Methods

Imaging in gynecological disease (14): clinical and ultrasound characteristics of ovarian clear cell carcinoma

“…Clear cell carcinoma is less sensitive to platinum‐based chemotherapy than serous and endometrioid adenocarcinomas and, if it were possible to identify clear cell tumors preoperatively, this could assist the oncology surgeon in making maximal efforts to obtain zero residual disease. The typical ultrasound appearance of different ovarian malignancies has been described in the Imaging in Gynecological Disease series of this journal (see Virtual Issue https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1002/(ISSN)1469‐0705.IMAGINGINGYNECOLOGICALDISEASE). It remains to be shown in prospective studies if different types of ovarian malignancy, including epithelial ovarian cancer, i.e.…”

Imaging in gynecological disease (13): clinical and ultrasound characteristics of endometrioid ovarian cancer

“…However, before starting any prospective study, the typical ultrasound appearance of different types of ovarian malignancy must be known. The typical ultrasound appearance of several different adnexal pathologies, including various types of malignancy, has been described in the 'imaging in gynecological disease' series of this journal [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] (also see Virtual Issue https://obgyn .onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1002/(ISSN)1469-0705.IMAGINGINGYNECOLOGICALDISEASE).…”

Ultrasound-Guided Laparoscopic Ovarian Wedge Resection in Recurrent Serous Borderline Ovarian Tumours

“…10Y12 Given the increased risk of recurrence following conservative surgery, meticulous postoperative surveillance is essential, utilizing ultrasound to assess for characteristic sonographic appearances of recurrence. 13 Most serous BOTs (sBOTs) (79%) present as a unilocular solid cyst, whereas the majority (89%) have at least 1 papillary projection with an irregular surface. 13 Recent developments in ultrasound technology has enhanced image quality, allowing the identification of pathology at increasingly small sizes.…”

“…13 Most serous BOTs (sBOTs) (79%) present as a unilocular solid cyst, whereas the majority (89%) have at least 1 papillary projection with an irregular surface. 13 Recent developments in ultrasound technology has enhanced image quality, allowing the identification of pathology at increasingly small sizes. This creates a therapeutic predicament if the pathology is not visible during laparoscopy.…”
