Objective: To determine the risk of malignancy in septated cystic ovarian tumors. Materials: 1319 (4.4%) of 29,829 women were identified by transvaginal sonography (TVS) as having a complex cystic ovarian tumor with septations without solid areas or papillary projections and were placed on long-term ultrasound surveillance for ovarian malignancy.

2023年6月16日 · Simple ovarian cysts are not cancerous. But ovarian masses that appear more complex on imaging scans fall into another category. Ovarian masses that have nodules or septations (little membranes subdividing the interiors) for instance, may not be benign cysts, so we’ll examine those much more closely.

2018年4月13日 · In general cysts are benign and can be ignored unless they are larger than 5cm and have septate walls (complex cyst). Such cysts have a small risk of becoming cancerous. Therefore they require closer monitoring or preferably a surgical removal.

Abdominal and vaginal pain: The significant size and mass of the septate ovarian cyst frequently exert pressure on nearby organs, leading to various types of pain for the patient. This may include persistent or intermittent pain in the pelvic area, pain along the …

2009年10月15日 · Findings suggestive of malignancy in an adnexal mass include a solid component, thick septations (greater than 2 to 3 mm), bilaterality, Doppler flow to the solid component of the mass, and...

2011年5月15日 · The presence of septations indicates a possible neoplasm. When septations have a thickness of more than 3mm and are well-vascularized - while non-specific - both increase the likelihood that a neoplasm is malignant.

Axial T2- (a) and T1-weighted (b) images demonstrate an adnexal multilocular cystic mass with thin septations and a solid posterior hypointense portion (a, arrow). The cystic portion presents multiple loculi with different contents characterized by different signal intensity.

Patients with masses involving both ovaries or with more than 1 mass within the same ovary were characterized using the features of the most abnormal finding. Septated cysts were uncommon (n = 16), with none subsequently diagnosed as cancer; these masses were combined for analysis with simple cysts.

Refer to a gynecologic oncologist for findings worrisome for cancer such as thick septations, solid areas with flow, ascites, evidence of metastasis, or high cancer antigen 125 levels. O varian cysts, sometimes reported as ovarian masses or adnexal masses, are frequently found incidentally in women who have no symptoms.

2023年6月10日 · Ovarian cystic neoplasms can be either benign or malignant and can arise from epithelial, stromal, or germ cell components. In general, the risk of malignancy in unilocular cystic tumors <10 cm in women over the age of 50 years is thought to be low 3,4.
