Overview

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is poor at detecting peritoneal implants and it is better at detecting endometriomas

they are typically unilocular, but may be multilocular, containing thin or thick septations

may be multiple

may contain mural nodules (a finding also found in ovarian neoplasms)

if these mural nodules are hyperechoic, these have a high predictive value for endometrioma over non-endometrial lesions 22

colour Doppler: no internal vascularity

as opposed to many other ovarian cysts, endometriomas do not resolve
