Abstract
Adnexal mass lesions are very common among women of all age group but very common among reproductive age. Differential diagnosis of adnexal mass is difficult and complex. Recognition of the severity of the problem, appropriate and timely evaluation and treatment with good outcome is the goal. Ultrasound is the primary modality used for detection and characterization of adnexal masses. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in patients suspected with adnexal masses. The study was conducted on 30 patients with suspected various adnexal masses in a period of 2yrs from 2005-2007. After taking consent, all patients underwent TAS and TVS. Sassone scoring system was applied. All patients later underwent laparotomy. Results of ultrasound were correlated with operative and histopathological findings. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of Sassone scoring system to differentiate benign from malignant masses were 100%, 97%, 75% and 100% respectively. Sassone sonographic scoring system is a reliable scoring system to differentiate between benign and malignant tumor. Sonography can be used as a simple noninvasive effective primary tool in evaluation of adnexal masses.
